Unable to start Genymotion - unable to initialize

问题:

I'm trying to get into developing Android apps, and whilst the Google android emulator works, it's incredibly slow.

following another answer here on stackoverflow, it was recommended to give genymotion a go.

Well, I've got it all installed, but it wont start any device.

Instead, all I get is a black window and then shortly after the following error message:

any advice?

I also had the same problem when I tried to use Genymotion on Ubuntu 14.04. At first, it worked, but it did not the next day and gave the same error message. I didn't find a fix for it directly, though I think the problem was because of the AMD Catalyst driver that I was trying to install for my HD7790. If you also use ATI driver and Ubuntu 14.04, this may help you:

I reinstalled Ubuntu, and did step 4, 5, and 6 in the AMD section.

This solve some issues that I had with the driver from AMD website: - QtCreator : libgl, something with swrast driver - Computer freezes during suspend - Genymotion unable to initialize subwindow system.
