Android Studio 2.3 using emulator from console, "/dev/kvm device: permission denied" for root user - linux

I'm trying to start a virtual android device which I created with the avdmanager of Android Studio 2.3 (via command line)
all commands are performed as root user
when i try to start the emulator via $ ~/Android/Sdk/tools/./emulator #Nexus_5X_Api_23_x86 the output is:
emulator: ERROR: x86_64 emulation currently requires hardware acceleration!
Please ensure KVM is properly installed and usable.
CPU acceleration status: This user doesn't have permissions to use KVM (/dev/kvm)
I'm using an Ubuntu 16.04 server with 64-Bit, Android Studio is started via x11 forwarding so my desktop environment is used (which is an ubuntu 16.04, 64-Bit too!)
when i'm typing $ kvm-ok it gives me:
INFO: /dev/kvm exists
KVM acceleration can be used
To proof that the .avd I'm trying to access exists:
$ ~/Android/Sdk/tools/bin/./avdmanager list avd
gives the output:
März 15, 2017 4:30:53 NACHM. sun.util.PropertyResourceBundleCharset$PropertiesFileDecoder decodeLoop

I really don't know what to do anymore, searched all over the forum but didn't found a replicate of this problem for my system, the fixes for the same problem on other systems doesn't worked for me, already tried to completely purge and reinstall all qemu, libvirt, libvirtd and kvm packages without success.
Any help is appreciated!!

Simply try this.
this was work for me
$ sudo chown username -R /dev/kvm
sometimes you need to run this code also
$ cd Android/Sdk/emulator/lib64/libstdc++
$ mv libstdc++.so.6 libstdc++.so.6.bak
$ ln -s /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6

Try these steps:
Install qemu-kvm like following
sudo apt install qemu-kvm
Add user to kvm group using the following command:
sudo adduser <username> kvm
If you are getting permission denied, try following command
sudo chown <username> /dev/kvm
It worked for me in Ubuntu 18.04

Assuming that you want to apply this change of ownership using the current OS user, use the following:
sudo chown $(whoami) -R /dev/kvm

I solved the problem running
sudo apt install qemu-kvm
sudo chown username -R /dev/kvm

Check nano /etc/group contains a line begins with kvm and ends with your user name. If not then run:
sudo gpasswd -a $USER kvm

Cannot start J-Link GDB Server on Ubuntu

I am currently working on the ARM Cortex-M4 inside the NXP i.MX8M Mini.
I am able to compile a project for M4 on Eclipse IDE on an Ubuntu VM.
I would now like to debug on the M4 via a SEGGER Flasher ARM probe, still from Ubuntu.
My probe is well recognized by Ubuntu, and I can launch the J-Link GDB server by simply typing the command :
$ sudo ./JLinkGDBServerCLExe
However, if I type the same command without sudo, I get :
$ ./JLinkGDBServerCLExe

Please check power, connection and settings.
My problem is that when I start eclipse, I get the same result as starting the GDB server without sudo.
It seems that this is a rights issue, how can I solve it?
As #KamilCuk said, the problem came from the udev rules.
So you just have to copy the rules provided by Segger with J-Link Software on the system:
$ sudo cp 99-jlink.rules /etc/udev/rules.d
Then you have to reboot the system:
$ reboot

ADB rejected shell command (getprop): closed

Using Android Studio and when trying to run a simple demonstration app the emulator I selected starts up but never renders the app. In the event log I see stuff like the following:

I expected that the emulator would start up and render the app created so far. I'm following https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dFlPARW5IX8 and at about 21:22.
It says to press play and the emulator should start and show the app we have coded so far. I never see this.

Cannot set up the virtual device in android studio

I am new to android studio. And i am trying to set up a virtual device for my project. One the virtual device is created and when i run it virtual device is not displaying and it gives me following errors.How can i resolve this in order to run the virtual device.

Error running qemu-system-riscv using root.bin and vmlinux

I am following riscv.org guides for toolchain building. When emulate using qemu running local built rootfilesystem (with busybox) and Linux Kernel, encounter the error below:

Thanks.
QEMU hasn't been fully updated to support the new RISC-V privileged spec (github issue). The update is currently underway.
For an ISA simulator, spike is a good alternative. It may not have all of the platform features of QEMU, but it could serve as a starting point while the QEMU update completes.

linux: running self compiled kernel in qemu: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown wn-block(0,0)

I try to get this running and don't know what I'm doing wrong. I have created an Debian.img (disk in raw format with virtual device manager - gui to libvirt I guess) and installed debian with no troubles. Now I want to get this running with a self compiled kernel. I copied the .config-file from my working (virtual) debian and made no more changes at all. This is what I do:
qemu-system-x86_64 -m 1024M -kernel /path/to/bzImage -hda /var/lib/libvirt/images/Debian.img -append "root=/dev/sda1 console=ttyS0" -enable-kvm -nographic
But during boot I always get this error message.

What I'm doing wrong? Please someone help. Do I need to pass the -initrd option? I tried this already but had no luck yet.
I figured it out by myself. Some time has passed, but as I recall the solution was to provide an initial ramdisk. This is how I got it working with hardware acceleration.

This is for AArch64 (arm64) on QEMU case.
I was following this good tutorial: https://ibug.io/blog/2019/04/os-lab-1/
In my case I was met with this error message:
---[ end Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(1,0) ]---
I did mknod dev/ram b 1 0 in the initrd.
Later I noticed there was an error message above that line implying the kernel didn't support the ram disk. So I edited .config and set these items:
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM_COUNT=1
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM_SIZE=131072 (= 128MB, the number is in unit of 1014B)
And then the problem was gone! The initrd was mounted on /dev/ram and the first init process ran well.
It turns out running make defconfig didn't set thses values by default for me.
maybe your system image file is bad and can not be mounted.
You may try these command to mount the image file and check if it is a valid root file system for linux.
losetup /dev/loop0 /var/lib/libvirt/images/Debian.img
kpartx -av /dev/loop0
mount /dev/mapper/loop0p1 /mnt/tmp
The most likely thing is that the kernel doesn't know the correct device to boot from.
You can supply this explicitly from the qemu command line. So if the root is on partition 2, you can say:
qemu -kernel /path/to/bzImage \
-append root=/dev/sda2 \
-hda /path/to/hda.img \
.
.
.
Notice I use /dev/sda2 even though the disk is IDE. Even virtual machines seem to use SATA nowadays.
The other possibilities are that as #Houcheng says, your root FS is corrupted, or else that the kernel does not have that particular FS type built in. But I think you would get a different error if that were the case.
