title: AVD (emulator) won't start on Linux
body: <p>Running Ubuntu Lucid, 32-bit. Eclipse Galileo with Android SDK Tools installed.</p>
  
  <p>After setting up an Android Virtual Device in the Android SDK and AVD Manager:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Name         Target Name      Platform   API Level
  TestDevice   Android 2.2      2.2        8
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>...clicking the Start... button does nothing--no errors anywhere, no sounds, no window or dialog anywhere, nothing at all.</p>
  
  <p>I've spent the last hour creating, trying, deleting devices and Googling. I can't find anything anywhere about a problem of the start button not working on Linux.</p>
  
  <p>Note that the emulator will start if I simply right-click on an Android project, and choose Run As, then Android Application.</p>
  
  <p>I've done this successfully on Windows for the last month+; I'm a Linux guy and decided to attempt to maintain a parallel development environment there rather than condemn myself to Windows-dependence.</p>
  
  <p>Any comment would be appreciated.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks,</p>
