It looks like, in some android studio update, google used a libstdc++ incompatible with the intel driver installed on the system.

Edit your .profile using your favorite text editor

vim ~/.profile Append this at the end of the file

export ANDROID_EMULATOR_USE_SYSTEM_LIBS=1

If it doesn’t work try installing lib64stdc++ and mesa-utils libraries:

sudo apt-get install lib64stdc++6 mesa-utils

and making a symlink from the system libstdc++ to the android studio one:

cd ~/Android/Sdk/tools/lib64/libstdc++/
mv libstdc++.so.6 libstdc++.so.6.bak
ln -s /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6
