Unable to create Android Virtual Device in Android Studio 2.2 in Ubuntu

At the end of the setup of adding virtual device(after selecting the Device & android version,) when I click on finish. I see the following error in the console:
5:56:14 AM NoSuchFileException: /home/amit_gaur/.android/avd/Nexus_6P_API_23.ini
note that the problem is not due to the spaces in the name of the device, I have tried it, still did not work.
NOTE: I am using Android studio in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS with KVM installed on a Dell laptop with 4xIntel Core i3-5005U CPU #2.00Ghz.

I found the same problem on my system, and the reason was that Android Studio created the ~/.android folder owned by root. To fix it I just did this:
sudo chown mnew .android
After that, I was able able to create the emulator because Studio was able to create and use the .android/avd directory.

I have already set the environment variable of JDK_HOME with the value as the destination of JDK
I have uninstalled and reinstalled many times, and I have even reset my PC

I guess you have used an old installer for Android Studio. Probably one which is lesser than version 1.3. This is how I fixed the issue.
Disconnect internet
Remove .android and .AndroidStudio folders from C:/Users/[User_Dir]/
Restart android studio in offline mode.
Everything should be working right now

There is nothing you can do about it just go buy a new pc. Sry man
