It is caused be the lock file generated by the boot which reside in the folder = .android/avd/{yourDeviceName}.

we can delete by using sudo rm snapshot.lock.lock command.

Then cold booting the device again ,solves the issue.

If you have android studio installed (Obviously) just open the AVD Manager, select the device and choose 'Stop' by using the right click. Then the device will be released.

I had this error in ubuntu and the fix was to change the owner of my $HOME/.android folder into my current user. ie.

sudo chown -R [username] $HOME/.android

Solution 4:[4]

sudo chown -R $(whoami) $HOME/.android

then

./emulator -avd Pixel_2_API_28

above command will do the trick!

If it get below error!

emulator: ERROR: x86 emulation currently requires hardware acceleration!
CPU acceleration status: This user doesn't have permissions to use KVM (/dev/kvm)
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.

try with

sudo ./emulator -avd Pixel_2_API_28

It worked for me!
