Hi,

the Android emulator does not startup until complete. It hangs in an infinite loop whilst showing the animated Android logo.

I was patient and tried it multiple times and also left it run over night, but it did not finish. I expect do see the standard Android Home screen.

What are the settings to bring it to run?

OS: Ubuntu 10.10

console out:
