Android Emulator freezing on Ubuntu

Installed android studio and emulator versions 31.* or 32.* (latest at the time of this writing) on the following device:

OS: Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS x86_64 
Kernel: 5.19.0-32-generic 
PC: HP EliteBook 840 G8 Notebook
GPU: Intel TigerLake-LP GT2 [Iris Xe Graphics] 
CPU: 11th Gen Intel i7-1165G7 (8) @ 4.700GHz.

I checked my CPU for virtualization support: egrep -c '(vmx|svm)' /proc/cpuinfo returns 16 (16 results, so virtualization should be ok), installed KVM stuff:

kvm-ok                                                                                     
INFO: /dev/kvm exists
KVM acceleration can be used

and yet when I run an AVD with hardware graphics (hardware GLES 2.0 enabled), running Google Chrome on the android device freezes the emulator with message: error: kvm run failed Bad address and I'm left with no other option other than force shutting down the emulator.

I had the same issue when enabling hardware acceleration for android emulator on my machine:

There seems to be a problem with the vulkan driver.

Try starting the emulator with the following flag: -feature -Vulkan.

Example:

~/android/sdk/emulator$ ./emulator -avd Pixel_4a_API_33 -feature -Vulkan

If you want to permanently use this arguments when running android studio, set the environment variable studio.emu.params either in your ~/.profile,~/.zprofile,~/.bash_profile with
export studio.emu.params="-feature,-Vulkan" or by adding it to your .desktop entry-file:

~/.local/share/applications/jetbrains-studio.desktop
