I've tried searching, but cannot resolve this error message when running the Genymotion Android emulator:
Here is my directory layout if that helps:
There are two version of genymotion.One withe the virtual box and another without the virtual box.You should install the one with the virtual box in case it is not installed on your machine then reinstall genymotion with the virtual box from official websiteenter image description here. This might solve your problem.
Take a look: https://www.genymotion.com/#!/developers/user-guide#installing-genymotion
Check version of your VirtualBox + be sure that everything from this list is not about you:
Genymotion cannot be run from a virtual machine. Indeed, it needs a direct access to the hardware in order to provide OpenGL acceleration. Running Genymotion from a virtual machine prevents it to directly access the hardware components. Therefore, Genymotion is incompatible when installed from VMWare, Parallels, Hyper-V or VirtualPC.

I'm trying to emulate android in Genymotion, but whenever I open it, it appears
"In order to work, Genymotion requires VirtualBox to be installed on your computer. You can download the latest version of VirtualBox from www.virtualbox.org/wiki/ Downloads. "
I own the latest version of Virtual Box, but I still do not know why the error occurs.
Does your VirtualBox work? Do you have HyperV enabled? If so, make sure Hyper-V is disabled.
Also, in Genymotion settings, make sure your VirtualBox path to Virtual Devices is set to a valid folder.
I have a question that looks quite complicated. I need to setup a complete development environment for Android in a virtual machine. I mean, create a virtual machine (player is Virtualbox last version) with Windows 8.1 as guest os.
In this vm, I installed Android Studio which works quite well. My problem is in running any android virtual device. I know I can't run x86 based emulator because I can't disable hyper-v, but I read somewhere that is should be possible to run arm based emulator (even if they are very slower). In fact, I can create and start an emulator, but it stuck with a blank screen, nothing happens and, of course, I can't deploy any application.
My question is:
1. Is it possible to run an AVD in a virtual machine?
2. My virtual machine has a memory of 2GB, maybe this isn't enough for running the AVD?
Thank you in advance
So I have Android Studios in a virtual box running mint. Do I need to install virtualbox to run genymotion in the original virtualbox or is there a work around? As of right now when I install genymotion it tells me it couldn't find the path of the virtualbox, which makes sense since it is in the virtualbox. Anyone else try and succeed at doing this?
Thanks
Ofcourse it needs another virtual box. Think of it as you are running mint in a virtual box container, now to run the gennymotion emulators you need to install the virtual box, but this is very tideous are bad idea, it is recomended that you do a full OS install.
Your performance of the machine will be sluggish since you are trying to run a OS indside an OS(The resoruces wil be lesser to be used vs a fully installed OS)
You can use Oracle VM VirtualBox
Guys I've installed genymotion on virtual box provided with setup . now every time i want to start the virtual device I've to restart my laptop & sometimes even that doesn't help . So I've decided to install that on VMWare 11 . Can anyone help me please on this issue.
If anyone can solve this error which says can't connect to virtualbox ,That would be helpful also. But I still prefer solution with VMWare .
I've tried solution like DHCP server address solution which is suggested by official support site of genymotion , but that doesn't help also.
I've tried glew solution also but their support center doesn't accept log file(text) or image of error.
Snapshot of error :
I had the same issue, Genymotion can't be launched on a virtual machine!
This is quoted from their faq:
Why doesn't Genymotion start from a virtual machine? Genymotion cannot
be run from a virtual machine. Indeed, Genymotion needs a direct
access to the hardware in order to provide OpenGL acceleration.
Running Genymotion from a virtual machine prevents it to directly
access the hardware components. Therefore, Genymotion is incompatible
when installed from VMWare, Parallels, Hyper-V or VirtualPC.
About the problem with virtual box try the following steps:
1. Open Virtual box. Go to preferences.
2. Click on networks option.
3. Click on Host-only networks tab
4. Delete all host adapters.
5. Start Genymotion. It will automatically create a new network adapter with required settings.
The above worked for me.
I've got Genymotion installed on VMWware. When I try to run up a virtual device, I get the message:
Unable to start the Genymotion virtual device. Check if your video card support OpenGL. If no, then Genymotion virtual device can not start. If yes, maybe you should update your video card drivers.
Detailed information: Failed to initialize backend EGL display (error: 4).
I've searched for this and suggestions have included:
Try using Genymotion (already doing that!)
Update your video card drivers (I've already got the latest drivers)
The following post: Unable to start the Genymotion virtual device, but the video card is not recognised and no drivers are available.
I'm beginning to wonder if you can run Genymotion within a VM. Has anyone had this issue and, if so, how did you resolve it?
Genymotion is a VM hosting solution, so it's not surprising that you cant run it within a VM!
From the Genymotion FAQ
Genymotion doesn't start from a virtual machine
Genymotion can't be run from a virtual machine.
Indeed, Genymotion needs a direct access to the hardware in order to
provide OpenGL acceleration.
Running Genymotion from a virtual machine prevents it to directly
access the hardware components.
So Genymotion is incompatible when installed from within VMWare,
Parallels, Hyper-V, VirtualPC.
