android emulator won't start on ubuntu 12.04 after when run from ssh
android, android-emulator, android-source, ubuntu-12.04
Solution
Found out about a work around yesterday.
The issue seems to be with android-sdks/tools/emulator, while emulator-arm seems to work fine.
To test cd to the android-sdks/tools directory and type: `emulator-arm -avd your_avd`
Looks like this forces the emulator to use the software renderer instead of OpenGL, but for me (using NX) it worked.

Problem
I built the android source code based on the http://source.android.com/source/building.html on Ubuntu 12.04 and when I run the emulator I'm getting the error and emulator won't start: ``` WARNING: Application calling GLX 1.3 function "glXCreatePbuffer" when GLX 1.3 is not supported! This is an application bug! X Error of failed request: GLXUnsupportedPrivateRequest Major opcode of failed request: 146 (GLX) Minor opcode of failed request: 16 (X_GLXVendorPrivate) Serial number of failed request: 20 Current serial number in output stream: 22 ``` Any idea how can I fix that? I need to mention that I connect to the machine with SSH. When I connect from an Ubuntu machine and run, it works fine but when I connect to it with my macbook machine through the SSH and try to run it gives me above error. BR, Ramin
