Uncomprehensive Android Studio - Device emulator-5554 is offline. error - Showing only black screen
After many attempts, and trying many solutions that I could find on stackoverflow or elsewhere on the internet, I was still not able to run the emulator on my computer. This is happening with this computer on both Windows and Linux boots. I am able to start the emulator but then it remains with a full black screen. Here are some information regarding the software: Linux Ubuntu 20.04LTS and Android-studio version I am working with: 4.1.2. About my hardware:

First I checked that the virtualization was working and it Seems to be pretty OK.

Then I tried a second verification!
$ virt-host-validate

With flutter doctor, it is written that the Device is offline and I have a full black screen.
Here I tried many things, graphics with hardware or software rendering, changing the RAM, changing the number of cores, changing x86 or x86_64 CPU arch, ... $flutter doctor
Doctor summary (to see all details, run flutter doctor -v):

And when doing the adb devices command:
$adb devices
List of devices attached
adb server version (41) doesn't match this client (39); killing...
* daemon started successfully
I always get this error at the end: Timed out after 300 seconds waiting for emulator to come online.
I tried to do adb server-killer etc, doing cold boot, etc, ... nothing worked. I still got the exact same issue.
Previously I was using another computer on which everything was working fine. And I am totally struggling here.
$adb kill-server
$adb start-server
* daemon not running; starting now at tcp:5037
* daemon started successfully
And when running logcat I got a restart loop.

Do you have any idea about what I could be missing exactly ? I was not able to post images. I hope that you will be able to help me. Many Thanks,

I finally found the solution. Because I am using an old AMV processor, I needed to use an ARM based image for the emulator and not a x86 image. I was then able to run it. Unfortunately my processor was not powerful enough and was lagging as hell when launching the android emulator. Had to buy a new computer.
