I am trying to run an Android emulator on Ubuntu 11.10 x64 with Eclipse 3.7. I have installed the SDK, the plugin for Eclipse, have set my PATH variables to include the android-sdk paths, installed the 32 bit libraries, and have created an AVD to run. When I go to Debug or Run however, my system hangs on:
Waiting for HOME ('android.process.acore') to be launched
I have seen other people hang and the solution is usually “check the Logcat” (I have no message here), “add a value for the SD Card in the AVD” (I have done this) or “Wait a while – it will happen eventually” (I let it run over night and still no dice).
Are there any other ideas? Thanks so much!
EDIT:
I should also mention that I have tried relaunching the application which was another commonly suggested solution. Also, the view for the emulator launches, but I never get anything inside of the emulator window (I never see A N D R O I D for example) in case this helps.

Turns out the problem was with VirtualBox (didn’t think to mention this, sorry). Unchecking
3D Accelerationcaused the emulator to run correctly.
