Android Emulator shows a Black Screen on Ubuntu Android Studio AVD

Question

I just installed Android Studio and created my first few Virtual Devices based on

• Nexus 6 API 27
• Pixel 3 API 27
• Pixel 4a API 30
• Pixel 5 API 30
• Pixel 5 API 28
• Pixel 5 API 27
• Pixel 5 API 26
• Pixel 5 API 25

However, starting the virtual device only shows a black window, as shown here:

Some time later, nothing changes and this window appear showing a timed out message:

Timed out after 300seconds waiting for emulator to come online.

Tried the following but does not help:

1. Switching the virtual Device's Graphics from Automatic to Software - GLES 2.0

2. Adding this line to the bottom ~/.bashrc`

   export ANDROID_EMULATOR_USE_SYSTEM_LIBS=1
   

3. Fixed some client error by creating this symlink for adb

   adb kill-server
   #sudo cp ~/Android/Sdk/platform-tools/adb /usr/bin/adb
   sudo ln -s ~/Android/Sdk/platform-tools/adb /usr/bin/adb
   sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/adb
   adb start-server
   

Is there a fix for this? Thanks!

You need to use another prescription of emulator. Or sometimes you need to change the version of android for emulator
