Problem

The problem is that,I switched form windows to linux[ubuntu 12.04] and I'm using android emulator for android programming with eclipse. and when I tried to run my adv emulator it exits with this message: ``` Failed to start emulator: Cannot run program "/home/lenovo/Desktop/adt-bundle-linux/sdk//tools/emulator": error=13, Permission denied. ``` the same problem was found here for iOS but in that case it was error:1. I read the solution but could not implement it because I could not understand it and also I'm new for linux. I am using Ubuntu 12.04 as my os. It would be great if some buddy could help me...
