KVM is required to run this AVD
I am on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and I am trying to set up Android Studio for the first time. When I run my simple "Hello World" app, it gives me a pop-up that says
KVM is required to run this AVD.
Unknown Error
Please file a bug against Android Studio
But when I run simply kvm-ok it outputs:
INFO: /dev/kvm exists
KVM acceleration can be used
18.04 kvm android-studio

Yes i have, but the thing is that my CPU does support virtualization and is enabled from BIOS!

You might try to just run 'kvm' as that will run a KVM with (x86) Bios with -enable-kvm being set. It will eventually stop as it has nothing to boot, but you will see if kvm can be used.

It is actually a permission denied on KVM rather on android emulator.
