When running the command:

Environment
VM in GCP, set up following https://source.android.com/docs/automotive/start/avd/cloud_emulator
Ubuntu 22.04 x86/64
Machine n2-standard-4 with Intel Cascade Lake CPU
Basically my goal is to set up an android emulator on vm. Any guidance on how to resolve this would be appreciated!
