I fixed my issue by flashing the latest Beta BIOS for my motherboard. Took me almost a full day of troubleshooting and looking online and repeating the same steps over and over again, but then almost on a whim I decided on flashing the Beta BIOS (no mentions of virtualization in the changelog, so I didn’t really have reaaons to) and now Android Studio finally simulates the Android device. Thanks for your help!

Oh, yeah, I got an error with the original command you wrote, so I ended up typing the correct one anyway, and that’s what returned the message that I’m already part of that group.

So, just to make it clear, sudo adduser “<myusername>” kvm was the command I ended up using and that told me I’m already part of the group (I’ve been trying basically all solutions I could find online and I think one suggestion was to add myself to the group, so I may have already issued that command earlier today and I did restart several times between then and now)

I get the same exact error via Flatpak and “the user … is already a member of kvm”, unfortunately.

Thanks anyway!

Thanks a lot, appreciated. I think I’ll try Flatpak Android Studio first, and move on to the suggestion of adding myself to the KVM group in case Flatpak install doesn’t fix the issue. Thanks again!

Thanks for the reply and the testing. It’s not via Flatpak (I figured it would be best not to, since Flatpak Gnome Boxes could not create a VM because of KVM issues, while Boxes installed via sudo apt install gnome-boxes gave me no error), but a simple tar extracted in desktop.

Since AMD Virtualization is Enabled in BIOS (although I can’t toggle it) and Gnome Boxes can create a VM when installed via terminal, I don’t think it’s a BIOS or CPU problem (otherwise no version of Boxes would allow me to run a VM, but I did launch Arch btw from inside Boxes).

Am I wrong?

Thanks!

Apparently PoP! doesn’t support Secure Boot. No idea why the system still runs and works apart from loading nVidia drivers though

Issue found: I disabled secure boot from BIOS and now I can change resolution and refresh rate. Thanks for the help!

Checked it just now and yes it’s properly seated. Checked power cables too and those are good as well. Cleared CMOS and now display defaults to 1024*768 resolution with no way to change it lol

Those are windows not W*ndows

Oh, no I haven’t tried pushing the PS button, thanks for the tip! I’ll try it

Thanks. I did try just PnP but it wouldn’t work. Could it be because Steam was running? I’ll have to try again after closing Steam

Bad word

That’s a long guide! Thanks for now, I’ll check it out as soon as I can!

No, yeah, I get that, I was asking about that “100% CPU usage and 70% GPU usage and if I turn details up I get a slideshow”. Is this at 1440p or are you playing at 1080p?

Edit: actually, I watched some benchmarks and the RX580 should deliver some solid FPS at 1440p so the CPU is the actual bottleneck here. Go first option and that will give you a very big framerate boost

Your monitor is 1440p, are you playing at that resolution?

Currently using 12GB for system and 9GB for apps, then I have 30GB for music + documents + backups (that I mirror on PC) since I never stream anything, so 64GB would be a bit too tight for me haha

I keep the bare minimum on my phone (something to read, music) and use very few apps, so 64GB could be enough for me, but I have other requirements for my phone and those often collide with storage so I never find anything with less than 128GB.

I keep backups on my PC, and that’s where I funnel my funds for storage lol

Got it once in the one year I’ve been on Linux

Teach me your ways. I don’t have a very new model, I think it’s a 4130e or something. Do you use CUPS?
