Dear Sir: I am using my Mac and install the ubuntu 16.04 . In this env , I also install android studio but the emulator(android) need VMX I think. My Parallels version is 15.1.4 there the issue shows here: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ emulator: WARNING: System image is writable emulator: ERROR: x86 emulation currently requires hardware acceleration! Please ensure KVM is properly installed and usable. CPU acceleration status: KVM requires a CPU that supports vmx or svm More info on configuring VM acceleration on Linux: https://developer.android.com/studio/run/emulator-acceleration#vm-linux General information on acceleration: https://developer.android.com/studio/run/emulator-acceleration.
