Can't get Virtualbox to work with Genymotion
I started genymotion and got the following error-message:
Unable to load VirtualBox engine.
Make sure that it is properly installed before starting Genymotion.
For more information, please refer to https://www.genymotion.com/#!/support?chapter=vbox#faq
Genymotion log archive has been saved in: /home/seel93/genymotion-log.zip Please contact Genymotion support for more help.
I've looked over FAQ with no luck even though I've followed their walkthrough for Linux.
This command:
sudo /usr/lib/virtualbox/vboxdrv.sh status
gives the following output:
VirtualBox kernel modules (vboxdrv, vboxnetflt, vboxnetadp, vboxpci) are loaded.
Restarting Virtualbox did not do the trick either as mentioned in many similar posts. Any help would be much appriciated.
I'm using xubuntu 16.04 LTS and i was having the same error i tried this and worked:
sudo /usr/lib/virtualbox/vboxdrv.sh setup
it should say this:
Stopping VirtualBox kernel modules ...done. Recompiling VirtualBox kernel modules ...done. Starting VirtualBox kernel modules ...done.
and then you can check if that worked using:
sudo /usr/lib/virtualbox/vboxdrv.sh status
then try to run again genymotion :) i hope that helps!
I get this when I've used up all 128 of my host-only NAT adapters,
I've searched the web and there doesn't seem to be way to a) remove them all in a batch or b) make Genymotion use the same one instead of creating a new one every time it starts. (Although one page I read made it sound like that is supposed to be the case!)
The fix for me:
- Start VirtualBox
- Go to File -> Preferences -> Network and open the "Host-only Networks" tab
- One by one remove the vboxnet(0 to 127)'s!
Although you could just remove one and then start Genymotion - but you'd have to do it again next time! :)
Now if anyone knows how to stop Genymotion creating them ...
