Could not launch './qemu/linux-x86_64/qemu-system-i386': No such file or directory

Question

With 25rc1 of the SDK tools I am having a problem when starting the emulators from $PATH

➜  ~  which emulator
/home/ligi/bin/android-sdk/tools/emulator
➜  ~  emu         


        

Answer 1

I had the Android Emulator up to date under SDK Tools. But I was still getting the error. Adding the following line to ~/.bash_profile solved the problem for me:

PATH=$ANDROID_HOME/emulator:$PATH

Answer 2

Do not use $ANDROID_HOME/tools/emulator, it will cause error when you launch every time unless you change dir.

There is a another emulator in $ANDROID_HOME/emulator.It is a good choice

Answer 3

In Virtual device configuration, set Emulated performance to Software GLES 2.0

Answer 4

In Ubuntu 19.10!

With the environment variables already configured ($ANDROID_HOME), you should be able to list the AVDs, but if you are unable to start the AVD, do the following:

# Check the AVD target name

emulator -list-avds

# But to start do:

$ANDROID_HOME/emulator/emulator @avd_name

or

/home/$USER/Android/Sdk/emulator/emulator @avd_name

Answer 5

I encounter this one in android studio 2.3 which use new path for the emulator so try the following:

do not use emulator executable in the: sdk-path/tools/ directory but instead use the one found in the : sdk-path/emulator/

and also remove or rename the emulator found in the sdk-path/tools directory.

and because android sdk shipped with it's own libstdc++.so.6 you need to do the following to avoid the libGL error:

cd $ANDROID_HOME/emulator/lib64/libstdc++
mv libstdc++.so.6 libstdc++.so.6.bak
ln -s /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6 $ANDROID_HOME/emulator/lib64/libstdc++  

Answer 6

Try this, it work for me on Windows.

Tools -> Android -> SDK Manager -> SDK Tools -> Android Emulator

Then click on Apply.
