After downloading Android Studio .zip you need to extract it in your desired directory.
You an do that by simply running this command
unzip "Zip file name" -d destination-directory
Navigate to the android-studio/bin directory
you need to edit idea.properties script to skip the initial set up page
so run nano idea.properties
and add this line at the end of the script
disable.android.first.run=true
save the script and the run
./studio.sh
On the window that appears go to configaration>http proxy then set your proxy.
Exit and then edit idea.properties file and remove the line you added, then run
./studio.sh
You are good to go now.
Happy coding.

Almost all Acer laptops running on Ubuntu Operating systems experience brightness issues as it is always set to maxmum value and it can not be reduced by the hardware key combinations eg Fn + (key).
I have experienced such problem with my machine Acer Aspire 5733 running Intel Ironlake Graphics Driver. I managed to fix the problem in several ways.
On your keyboard press ctrl+alt+T to launch the terminal emulator
Run the command sudo echo brightness | tee /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness
or
sudo echo brightness | tee /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness
or
sudo echo brightness | tee /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness
then enter your root password
NB: brightness is a figure for intel it ranges from 1-996 and acpi ranges from1-9.
For my case only intel_backlight works.
Editting the grub
On your terminal emulator run
gedit /etc/default/grub
edit the line
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash ....."
and add 'acpi_osi=Linux acpi_backlight=vendor'
it would look like
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi_osi=Linux acpi_backlight=vendor"
then run
sudo update-grub
sudo reboot
to apply the changes.
All the best
At some point last month we told you the upcoming Snapdragon 810 chip was faced with some production issues. And that this situation could bring about repercussions related to numerous new flagship devices.
