Presuming that you are running the 64bit Ubuntu  the fix suggested for  Issue 82711  should solve your problem   sudo apt-get install lib32z1 lib32ncurses5 lib32bz2-1 0 lib32stdc  6  Update  For Ubuntu 15 10  amp  16 04  sudo apt-get install lib32z1 lib32ncurses5 lib32stdc  6

The Problem is caused by mksdcard not being installed correctly   if you are running 64 bit  do this to fix the mksdcard problem       sudo dpkg --add-architecture amd64     sudo apt-get update     sudo apt-get install libncurses5 amd64 libstdc  6 amd64 zlib1g amd64   and 32 bit       sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386     sudo apt-get update     sudo apt-get install libncurses5 i386 libstdc  6 i386 zlib1g i386   In SDK 6 0  the error message is different but means the same thing       Unable to run mksdcard

I understand the question is regarding UBUNTU  but I had similar problem in Debian Jessie 64bit and warsongs suggestion worked for it also  When I ran studio sh android studio would start  but when I tried to configure the android SDK I got the error Unable to run mksdcard SDK tool WHen I tried sudo apt-get install lib32z1 lib32ncurses5 lib32bz2-1 0 lib32stdc  6 Got error E  Package  lib32bz2-1 0  has no installation candidate So took warsongs suggestion and only tried to install lib32stdc  6  sudo apt-get install  lib32stdc  6 After this was able to add the Android SDK into Android Studio

None of these options worked for me on Ubuntu 12 10  yeah  I need to upgrade    However  I found an easy solution   Download the source from here  https   github com miracle2k android-platform sdk blob master emulator mksdcard mksdcard c   Then simply compile with  gcc mksdcard c -o mksdcard   Backup mksdcard in the SDK tools subfolder and replace with the newly compiled one   Android Studio will now be happy with your SDK

Checkout this page     If you are running a 64-bit distribution on your development machine  you need to install additional packages first  For Ubuntu 13 10  Saucy Salamander  and above  install the libncurses5 i386  libstdc  6 i386  and zlib1g i386 packages using apt-get    sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install libncurses5 i386 libstdc  6 i386 zlib1g i386

This issue arises when your 64 bit os tries to install the Android SDK which in turns tries to install some 32 bit binaries and thus is the issue of compatibility    Open an additional terminal and type  sudo apt-get install lib32z1 lib32ncurses5 lib32bz2-1 0 lib32stdc  6    would help to install all the required binaries  After this  start the afresh the Android SDK installation process
