Attempted fixes

  1. Created several different devices using many different APIs (same errors)
  2. Reinstalled via apt-get libstdc++6 (same errors)

System

  • ubuntu 16.04 (64bit)
  • AMD A4-3300M APU
  • android studio 3.0.1

Any advice? I feel I must be missing some dependency.

I think, your CPU does not support SSSE3. Maybe, you can try this,
AVD Manager > Create Virtual Device > select the one you want (then next)>Other Images,
you can select armabi-v7a in the ABI section. Maybe, this can be a solution.Or try another.
AMD CPU that support list for SSSE3

Thanks for your advice, however after trying several different arch/images I am still getting the same error. Honestly I thought it might have been something super simple like installing some package.

Luckily I have a spare phone, also I have once had genymotion working on a windows machine, perhaps I can try on this rig.

hmm, I heard of the genymotion. You are right. Maybe, this will work or you can check to use an ARM emulator.

I have similar experience. The error code is Intel HAXM is requried to run this AVD. My case is a brand new SAMSUNG laptop which is Win10 with Intel mcu, but the AVD is working. I try the haxm manager to do manual installation once without success. I then go search answer in web. One answer appears as to download the latest hasm manager to replace the built-in one. I have loaded “haxm_windows_V6_2_1_zip” from https://software.intel.com. Then I do again the manual installation and try the AVD manager. This time it works!
