It's a fresh install, first time trying to use it, and it just doesn't work. This is all i get to see, with the CPU fan spinning fast all the time:

I wanted to see that little black monitor preview big to read the letters, it's all like this:

These are some of the errors I can see in the logs:

VBoxSVC.log is filled with these:

In Google Galaxy Nexus - 4.3 - API 18 - 720x1280-genymotion-player.log I have some of these as well:

I've uploaded here at pastebin the results of searching the word "error" in all log files generated by genymotion (456 hits in 16 files).

Everybody on the internet praises this emulator so much that i don't want to give up so fast, but I certainly don't know how to fix it. I've googled these different errors, nothing of use.

  • In your first screenshot, I see that you have VirtualBox open. Are you starting the Nexus VM from the Genymotion launcher or VirtualBox? You should try starting it from the Genymotion launcher without having VB open at all. Genymotion VMs do not usually startup when launched directly from VirtualBox. – Paul Ratazzi Jul 26 '14 at 16:10
  • Yes, i launch it from Genymotion. I just opened VB to try to get more insight to the problem. The thing I then tried a different model and it worked... Not my model though. – Carles Alcolea Jul 27 '14 at 10:10
  • ADB the mystery continues. – ClintL Feb 11 '15 at 14:21
  • Do you try other image? Do you have other virtualization software like VMWare or Hyper-V? Other way I do is in vbox settings set the Android machine network to bridge, for the log I think you have in nat. – jmmontero Feb 19 '15 at 18:12
  • What worked for me are following 3 steps. 1. Uninstall GM (incl. VirtualBox).& restart 2. Install GM (incl. VirtualBox and not separately) & restart, 3. Set GM to use its own ADB (Settings -> ADB -> Use Genymotion Android Tools). – SSG Jan 16 '17 at 14:24

I had the same issue and I tried many things for days then I noticed this answer. It was mentioned that they had a network problem and I remembered in my general-genymotion.log file I saw this line:

[Genymotion] [Error] Output command: "VBoxManage: error: DHCP server does not exist" My problem was solved after I removed DHCP's from my network also I cleared all catches from genymotion

Also used my local ADB instead of genymotion's default:

Genymotion->Settings->ADB->Use custome Android SDK tools

After that:

Genymotion->Settings->Misc->Clear cache

I solved the same problem by setting a static ip address in the same field of addresses as where my network card ipv4 is (in my case 192.168.1.75 so it's between 192.168.1.2 and 192.168.1.255) to the virtual box network adapter like in these steps so it won't need DHCP anymore.
