Note that this is reproducible with Android Studio 4.2 Canary 9.

With the help of https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/167341770#comment2, here is the workaround:

Check to see if you have a file at $HOME/.config/Google/AndroidStudioPreview4.2/studio64.vmoptions. If not, run Android Studio 4.2 Canary 9, which should create that file, then crash shortly afterwards with the same error reported in this issue.
Edit that file and remove the -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC line.

I was able to get Canary 9 to start up after that change.

Thanks. my studio64.vmoptions was set on -XX:+UseG1GC and changed this to -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC and finally everything worked fine.
