Android Studio 2.3 Ubuntu 16.10 emulator do not start

It’s a libGL error and libstdc++ issue. Cannot launch AVD in emulator

First, install some packages and libs:

$ sudo apt-get install lib64stdc++6:i386

$ sudo apt-get install mesa-utils

Second, tweak some links:

$ cd YOURPATH/Android/Sdk/tools/lib64
$ mv libstdc++/ libstdc++.bak
$ ln -s /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6  libstdc++

Third, relaunch your AVD device and test it.

Alternative solution, available only by terminal is to launch emulator with:

$ emulator -use-system-libs -avd YOUR_VIRTUAL_DEVICE_NAME
