Android emulator closes after

I'm using Linux Pop!OS 19.04 and have tried installing the Android Emulator. It does start but it closes within about 30seconds every time.

I have Java 8 installed through 'OpenJDK-8-JDK' and I can successfully build Android packages and side load them onto my phone without a problem.

After installing the Android SDK into the /usr/local/android here is what I did;

  1. Change into the tools bin dir

    : cd /usr/local/android/sdk/tools/bin : sudo chmod +x

  2. Install system images (must be done as root)

    : sudo ./sdkmanager "system-images;android-25;google_apis;x86" : sudo ./sdkmanager --licenses Say 'y' to all : sudo touch ~/.android/repositories.cfg

  3. List available Android Virtual Devices to install (done as user)

    : ./avdmanager list

  4. Create a test Android Virtual Device (AVD)

    : ./avdmanager create avd -n test -k "system-images;android-25;google_apis;x86" custom hardware profile: no

  5. List AVDs

    Now I get the following when I list through avdmanager

    : ./avdmanager list avd : Available Android Virtual Devices: : Name: test : Path: /root/.android/avd/test.avd : Target: Google APIs (Google Inc.) : Based on: Android 7.1.1 (Nougat) Tag/ABI: google_apis/x86

  6. Start emulator

    : cd /usr/local/android/sdk/emulator : ./emulator -avd test

It then loads the emulator and I can start applications and browse around until it just crashes/closes the program.

I tried installing Android studio and setting up the AVD through there, same thing happened. I've tried different models and android versions for my AVD, same thing.
