How is this related to Nixpkgs?

Maybe it is because of missing some dependences. I have enable libvirtd and installed bridge-utils

@yswtrue sadly error from android studio is missleading

this happens when android studio cant access kvm device, this has happened to me in the past when i was using systemd.enableUnifiedCgroupHierarchy = true

so I'd start by checking you permissions to /dev/kvm and see if in your configuration nothing else is using kvm device

if /dev/kvm device is missing check for intel_kvm or amd_kvm kernel modules ( depending on your hardware )

[yswtrue]

I have also set systemd.enableUnifiedCgroupHierarchy = false and there is /dev/kvm and my user is in kvm group.

and I can run emulator in Virtual Machine Manager

but in android-studio there is no kvm group

[kirillrdy]

@yswtrue can you provide your configuration ? otherwise I would suggest remove most of things from your configuration,.

something basic like this

environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [ android-studio ] ;

works for me, as in, I can run emulator

 nix-info -m
 - system: `"x86_64-linux"`
 - host os: `Linux 6.1.10, NixOS, 23.05 (Stoat), 23.05.20230210.9943fcc`

 - version: `nix-env (Nix) 2.13.2`
 - channels(root): `"nixos-22.05"`
 - nixpkgs: `/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/root/channels/nixos`

I have disable waydroid and libvirtd, and android-studio emulator works for me now, but I can't running android-studio emulator and virtualbox emulator at tie same time. Thank you very much. @kirillrdy

closing as resolved, feel free to reopen

@kirillrdy i cannot disable libvirt, and android studio doesn't work because of that issue.

edit: i could fix it with systemd.enableUnifiedCgroupHierarchy = lib.mkForce true;
