I am trying to start the robot-emulator from pepper android sdk. But i am having this error when i try to start the emulator.
Below is the error i am getting
ROBOT_VIEWER_EMULATOR : /home/hassaan/.local/share/Softbank Robotics/RobotSDK/API 4/tools/bin/robot_viewer: /home/hassaan/.local/share/Softbank Robotics/RobotSDK/API 4/tools/bin/../lib/libz.so.1: version `ZLIB_1.2.9' not found (required by /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpng16.so.16)
Has anyone run in the same issue.
You need to first install this:
sudo apt install qemu-kvm
To check the ownership of /dev/kvm use:
ls -al /dev/kvm
The user was root, the group kvm. To check which users are in the kvm group, use
grep kvm /etc/group
This returned
kvm:x:some_number:
on my system: as there is nothing rightwards of the final " : ", there are no users in the kvm group. To add the user yourname to the kvm group, you could use
sudo adduser yourname kvm
which adds the user to the group, and check once again with grep kvm /etc/group. You might want to log out and back in (or restart) for the permissions to take effect.
Go to: /home/yourname/.local/share/Softbank Robotics/RobotSDK/API 4/tools/lib
Back up the old libz.so.1:
mv libz.so.1 libz.so.1.bak
And relink the system's one:
ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libz.so libz.so.1
You should now be able to start the Pepper emulator!
