Running hardware accelerated emulator on Ubuntu 14.04 using system images on Intel x64 machines

gistfile1.txt

1. Follow the instructions from (reference 2)

2. Follow the instructions from (reference 3)

If you are not able to run `sudo apt-get install qemu-kvm libvirt-bin ubuntu-vm-builder bridge-utils ia32-libs-multiarch` due to ia32-libs-multiarch, run the below commands

```sh
sudo -i
cd /etc/apt/sources.list.d
echo "deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ raring main restricted universe multiverse" > ia32-libs-raring.list
apt-get update
```

and then try running the command again

While running the emulator, if you get qt xcb related error, make sure you copy libqxcb.so to <android sdk folder>/tools/lib64/qt/plugins/platforms

If qt is not installed on your system, follow the instructions from (reference 4) & run `cp /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/plugins/platforms/libqxcb.so <android sdk folder>/tools/lib64/qt/plugins/platforms`
If you get `lib64OpenglRender.so` related error, make sure you have `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` pointing to `<android sdk folder>/tools/lib64`

The final shell script I have to launch my emulator is below

```sh
cd /home/thekalinga/Android/Sdk/tools
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=~/Android/Sdk/tools/lib64 ./emulator64-x86 -avd Nexus_5X_64_API_22 -qemu -m 2047 -enable-kvm -show-kernel
```
