I fixed my issue by flashing the latest Beta BIOS for my motherboard. Took me almost a full day of troubleshooting and looking online and repeating the same steps over and over again, but then almost on a whim I decided on flashing the Beta BIOS (no mentions of virtualization in the changelog, so I didn’t really have reaaons to) and now Android Studio finally simulates the Android device. Thanks for your help!

Oh, yeah, I got an error with the original command you wrote, so I ended up typing the correct one anyway, and that’s what returned the message that I’m already part of that group.

So, just to make it clear, sudo adduser “<myusername>” kvm was the command I ended up using and that told me I’m already part of the group (I’ve been trying basically all solutions I could find online and I think one suggestion was to add myself to the group, so I may have already issued that command earlier today and I did restart several times between then and now)

I get the same exact error via Flatpak and “the user … is already a member of kvm”, unfortunately.

Thanks anyway!

Thanks a lot, appreciated. I think I’ll try Flatpak Android Studio first, and move on to the suggestion of adding myself to the KVM group in case Flatpak install doesn’t fix the issue. Thanks again!

Thanks for the reply and the testing. It’s not via Flatpak (I figured it would be best not to, since Flatpak Gnome Boxes could not create a VM because of KVM issues, while Boxes installed via sudo apt install gnome-boxes gave me no error), but a simple tar extracted in desktop.

Since AMD Virtualization is Enabled in BIOS (although I can’t toggle it) and Gnome Boxes can create a VM when installed via terminal, I don’t think it’s a BIOS or CPU problem (otherwise no version of Boxes would allow me to run a VM, but I did launch Arch btw from inside Boxes).

Am I wrong?

Thanks!
