"PANIC: Could not find..." when I try to run emulator on Android Studio on ubuntu

Issue

When I try to run the emulator on Android studio it prints: "PANIC: Could not find Nexus_5_API_21.ini file in $ANDROID_AVD_HOME nor in $HOME/.android/avd" and nothing happens.

I have tried setting the ANDROID_AVD_HOME variable with no luck. Where should I set the environment variables? I have tried to set ANDROID_SDK_HOME too, but I dont know where to set it.

I am using Ubuntu Gnome 14.04 and Android Studio 1.0.1

Thanks

Solution

This is just a workaround.

It's possible that the files aren't present in the $HOME/.android at all in Linux. The files should be present in /root/.android/. So copy everything from /root/.android/ to ~/.android/ (or /home/username/.android/) and it should work!
