Genymotion error at start 'Unable to load virt

问题:

I've installed the genymotion+virtualbox package on Windows 7 64-bit and everything goes fine... But when I start Genymotion it presents me an error message Unable to load virtualbox.

VirtualBox is installed and I'm able to start it manually. I've tried to install the packages separately, updated virtualbox to 4.2.16 but nothing worked.

I've already read genymotion FAQ but it did not help.

回答1:

In Linux at least, I had to restart VirtualBox, running this command on terminal:

/lib/virtualbox/VirtualBox restart

Seems to be the same on Mac OS X.

I have spend all day to solve this error since none of the answers worked for me.

I found out that oracle virtual box doesn't install the network adapter correctly in windows 8.1

Solution:

1. Delete all previous virtual box adapters
2. Go to device manager and click "Action" > "Add legacy hardware"
3. Install the oracle virtual box adapters manually (my path was C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\drivers\network\netadp\VBoxNetAdp.inf)

Now that virtual box adapters is installed correctly, it needs to be setup correctly. (the following solution is like many other solution in here)

1. Start Oracle VM VirtualBox and go to "File" > "Preferences" > "Network" > "Host-only Network"
2. Click edit
3. Set IPv4 192.168.56.1 mask 255.255.255.0
4. Click DHCP Server tab and set server adr: 192.168.56.100 server Mask: 255.255.255.0 low address bound: 192.168.56.101 upper adress bound 192.168.56.254
5. Now click OK and start genymotion

Had the same problem, Uninstall Genymotion, install VirtualBox stand alone from https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads then install the Genymotion package without VirtualBox.

回答4:

Try closing Android Studio/Eclipse if it's open. It worked for me.

回答5:

What worked for me in Windows 7 is to remove the Host-only Network (in Oracle virtual box Preferences menu [CTRL+G] -> Network -> Host-only Networks). Genymotion will recreate it automatically at the next virtual device start. For the record; I'm using a Nexus S 2.3.7 virtual device.

FIXED SOLUTION

Run below command in terminal, It denotes where is your virtualbox install on MAC/Linux.

    $ which vboxmanage
    /usr/local/bin/VBoxManage

Genymotion search the virtualBox in /usr/bin/VBoxManage while it is located to /usr/local/bin/VBoxManage , you need to create the symlink to that location , Run in terminal to fix it.

    sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/VBoxManage /usr/bin/VBoxManage

回答7:

I am using Intellij IDEA and same error happened to me, I found that the path to genymotion folder was not configured properly. Either open settings using File > Settings or press Ctrl + Alt + S then in IDE Settings check if the path to the genymotion folder is correct or not.

Since Android Studio are almost similar to Intellij IDEA so you can apply the same steps above to Android Studio as well.

回答8:

Open Genymotion in Windows as an administrator. My Genymotion works only in this mode

回答9:

Actually it seems like Genymotion has an issue with the newer versions of Virtual box, I had the same issue on my Mac but when I downgraded to 4.3.30 it worked like a charm.

回答10:

Verify that GenyMotion is in your PATH environment variable. I noticed mine was not auto populated, so once I entered it, it was fine.

回答11:

For Windows there are 2 installers. Did you use the bundle containing VirtualBox installer? It is call Windows 32/64 bits (with VirtualBox).

回答12:

Don't ask what this has to do with that , but by right clicking the genymotion application file and changing to compatibility to Vista solved the problem!

回答13:

I also experienced this when I upgraded operating system from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1. Un-installing Virtualbox and re-installing worked for me.

回答14:

1. Close Android Studio (if Android Studio is running)
2. Run Genymotion as administrator

that's all! simple.

回答15:

try launching it via android-studio/eclipse plugin. Thats how I had similar issue when launching it from ubuntu.
