You need to be part of the kvm group

Try this:

sudo adduser $USER kvm

Then relaunch android studio or unlog / relog user

I also had this problem, and was able to fix it by using:

sudo chmod 777 /dev/kvm

In my case the error was because the user has not enough permission to /dev/kvm. So the solution is giving permission,i.e.,

chmod 777 /dev/kvm

Changed permissions in the /home/folder/Android/Sdk/emulator/ folder

chmod 777 -R /home/folder/Android/Sdk/emulator/
