error: protocol fault (couldn't read status): Connection reset by peer

I use Xubuntu (Ubuntu flavor) system. I've installed Android Studio (using default instructions). It was working fine, I think that I did not reboot the system since I did this. Now after I've shutdown the computer (I was away) when I boot it my react-native stopped working because the adb gives errors:

$ ps aux | grep adb
jakubja+    9484  0.0  0.0  22036  2412 pts/0    S+   15:30   0:00 grep --color=auto adb
$ adb kill-server
error: failed to read response from server
$ adb start-server
error: protocol fault (couldn't read status): Connection reset by peer
$ adb -P 19999 start-server
error: protocol fault (couldn't read status): Connection reset by peer
$ adb devices
adb: failed to check server version: protocol fault (couldn't read status): Connection reset by peer

I've searched multiple similar questions and did not find a way to fix the issue. I was also asking chatGPT it suggested reinstalling SDK (which I did and it did not help).

NOTE that I have the same setup on my personal laptop with Fedora and it's working fine.

EDIT: I've enabled logging but I have no clue what is wrong:

$ export ADB_TRACE=all

EDIT: what's weird is that I can run Simple Python HTTP server on adb port without any issues:

$ python3 -m http.server 5037
Serving HTTP on 0.0.0.0 port 5037 (http://0.0.0.0:5037/) ...
127.0.0.1 - - [19/Jul/2023 09:39:39] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 -

but after stopping it and running adb it gives the same error.

EDIT(2) I've tried to install adb from the Ubuntu package android-sdk-platform-tools-common but got the same error if running this version of adb.

Solution

I was searching multiple questions and found some not related questions with this command:

adb server

This seems to solve my problem. I need to run this every time I reboot my computer otherwise adb does not work. The server doesn't start on its own. I don't need to do this on my other laptop with Fedora only on Xubuntu.
