I have Ubuntu 11.04 and i downloaded latest eclipse ADT bundle, i also have installed all ia32libs, i dont know why the emulator is not starting, i have tried various device configurations, i have 4 platforms 2.2, 2.3 , 4.0 ,4.2. i have tried various permutation and combination, but virtual device does not show up-none of them.

I have also tried various solutions in other SO'questions, they do not solve my problem. i have been stuck in these for weeks, still i have reached no where?Please Help

FYI: I also have eclipse Helios, in that it works fine but, i cannot get/download platform above 3.0/Honeycomb in that, and in the Helios the virtual devices work fine. i dont know whether its relevant or not, but still..

Run your emulator in Command Line Parameters

To start an instance of the emulator from the command line, navigate to the tools/ folder of the SDK. Enter emulator command like this:
