Why won't my Android emulator start on Ubuntu 22.04?

Question

I've tried numerous times (with numerous reboots) to start up an Android emulator on Ubuntu 22.04.
However, it freezes & then crashes & sends a system bug report to Ubuntu.

The emulator never starts.

I'm running :

• Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS
• Gnome 42.4
• Wayland

Answer 1

I made two changes to my Ubuntu 22.04 machine.

1. Installed the official NVidia drivers via sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall
2. Followed the instructions to remove wayland (and run Xorg) windowing system shown at: How do I use X instead of wayland on 22.04?

I rebooted and then started up Android Studio. I started the android emulator and it started up as expected.

So glad to be off wayland.

Answer 2

after I installed Nvidia driver, I right click to icon Android studio and ran "Launching using Discrete Graphics Card" and also I changed emulated performance to "Hardware - GLES 2.0" and eventually worked for me
