I am running Android Studio from WSL. When I try to use the emulator I get "/dev/kvm" not found. I have installed kvm and I have confirmed that vt-x emulation is enabled in my BIOS.
Is it possible to use kvm with WSL (Ubuntu)?
KVM only runs on an actual Linux kernel, not Windows Subsystem for Linux (which runs on a thin Linux emulation layer over the Windows kernel).
You can either run Android Studio on Linux natively, or use the Windows version of Android Studio (on Windows, only HAXM is supported).

Disabled HyperV via GUI as above.

Then made sure via powershell via above.
Yet when running emulator-check.exe hyper-v:
hyper-v:
2
Hyper-V is enabled
hyper-v
I assume this is the issue. Virtualization is enabled. I have tried manually installing batch file (not in android studio). I have tried disabling Virtual Machine Platform and Windows Hypervisor Platform to install and that also didn't work (re-enabled after). CPU is AMD Ryzen 5 5625U with Radeon Graphics. Android Studio and the command were done with admin.
1st enable virtualization and hyper-v from your motherboard BIOS settings.
Then from the GUI enable the following:
Hyper-V
Virtual Machine Platform
Windows Hypervisor Platform
And after that restart your windows machine.
What fixed this, was turning Virtualization OFF in the BIOS and then ON again. After doing this mulator-check.exe hyper-v showed hyper-v to be not installed, which is the expected output. I was then able to install the driver in Android Studio as usual.
No matter how I configure my system, Android Studio shows the "We have detected that your system can run the android emulator in an accelerated performance mode. Linuxed-based systems support virtual machine acceleration through the KVM. Search for install instructions for your particular Linux configuration hat KVM is enabled for faster Android emulator performance."
egrep -c '(vmx|svm)' /proc/cpuinfo gives 8
kvm-ok gives INFO: /dev/kvm exists
KVM acceleration can be used
grep kvm /etc/group gives kvm:x:108:currentLoggedInUser
How should I configure KVM correct on Ubuntu 19.10? And how could I tell if Android Studio is running the VM using KVM?
Thanks.
i had same issue, but the other way around. To make it work, first make sure you've enabled virtualization in the BIOS and added your username in libvirt.
Click cancel on the screen that shows Android KVM
Android Studio will offer you to two options. Choose the one "don't start the setup wizard" (not the recommended one), so it will take you to the welcome screen.
Start a new project as usual and Android Studio will say couldn't find the SDK.
Choose the libraries and emulators to download and the rest is the same as usual.
I would like to use Android Studio on Lubuntu as guest in VirtualBox.
The installation works fine but I can't get the "hello world" app to run on any AVD (Android Virtual Device)
Lubuntu 32 bit:
ARM won't work, abd connection error
USB > AVD manager won't work
Lubuntu 64 bit:
It's complaining about VtX settings
What is the best environment? 32 of 64 bit? And what is the fastest and easiest way to test my app? AVD, ARM, USB (hardware device) or another VirtualBox with Android on it?
I'm having the same issue on Windows host as well.. I guess the issue here is that VirtualBox still lacks the ability to host VT-in-VT. Please see: https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/4032
I am using Linux Mint and I have the Visual Studio 2015 exe installation file.
I use Wine for Windows applications, but it doesn't work with VS.
Has someone successfully installed VS using Wine on Linux Mint?
VS 2015 doesn't works with wine, because VS will require a full Windows stack. Use virtualization for example VirtualBox or VMware.
I currently use a Windows 7 Home Basic. I need to run a certain application, which is, as of now not supported, i.e. compatible with/by W7HB. I tried downloading Virtual PC with XP mode, which does not support W7HB. Hence, I have installed Fedora as a dual boot, as there exists a separate edition of the application for Linux. As I am new to Linux CLI, I would like to install a version of XP in Fedora, i.e. via Virtual XP, assuming it supports. However, I am not able to find any suitable article for the same. Any suggestions...???
The easiest way to do this is to use VirtualBox.
There are 2 options:
run W7HB as the 'host' and install VirtualBox.Then install a guest operating system such as Fedora or WXP inside virtualbox.
OR
run Fedora as the host and install VirtualBox. Then install a guest operating system such as W7HB or WXP.
Be warned that if you install Windows in any form in a virtual machine you will need a Windows installation key. This may require a phone call to Windows support.
There are other solutions - VMWare, KVM, ... but IMHO VirtualBox is the simplest
