  <p>How to fix/debug it?..</p>
  
  <p>Was working fine with KVM end virtualization, but suddenly stopped after updating to emulator to 26.1.2-4077558.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Update</strong></p>
  
  <p>Thanks to albodelu for information about update to 26.1.3. After Update I having:</p>
  
  <pre><code>KVM is required to run this AVD.
  Unknown Error
  
  Please file a bug against Android Studio.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>KVM enabled.
  This was initial error which I fixed by adding executable permissions to emulator binaries.
  So done this again.
  Forced emulators to work by:</p>
  
  <pre><code>chmod a+x ~/Android/Sdk/emulator/emulator*
  chmod a+x ~/Android/Sdk/emulator/lib64/lib*
  chmod a+x ~/Android/Sdk/emulator/qemu/linux-x86_64/*
  chmod a+x ~/Android/Sdk/emulator/qemu-img
  chmod a+x ~/Android/Sdk/tools/emulator*
  chmod a+x ~/Android/Sdk/tools/android
  chmod a+x ~/Android/Sdk/tools/bin/*
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And now miracle :) both emulator devices are working.</p>
