GenyMotion Unable to start the Genymotion virtual

Question

When I run Genymotion, I get the following error:

Unable to start the Genymotion virtual device.

Unable to configure the network adapter for the virtual device.

Please, check the following points:
From VirtualBox, in the main parameters of software, check a network adapter "Host-only" is present. From VirtualBox, in the Genymotion virtual device parameters, check the first network interface has the type "Host-only". If no, then set this parameter manually.

How can I fix that?

Answer 1

If all the other answers here fail (you can check that you have a correctly created host-only network in VirtualBox, which is basically what other answers here come down to):

https://stackoverflow.com/a/33733454/586754 (with screenshot) worked for me.

Basically, go to Windows network adapter settings for the "VirtualBox Host-Only Ethernet Adapter" and check "VirtualBox NDIS6 Bridged Networking Driver".

This made both Genymotion and Xamarin Android Player work again.

Follow following step to work genemotion like charm.

1. Open Oracle VM virtual Box

2. File -> Preferences ( ctrl + g ) -> open one dialog box -> select Network -> select Host only network choose you adapter ( there are three button on right side -add -remove -Edit host only nw.,

   If you dont have any adapter then create.

3. After selecting your adapater choose Edit Edit host only network(space)

4. Open one dialog box then choose DHCP server choose Enable Server and fill all ip addresses.

   like

   IPv4 address/netmask: 192.168.56.1/255.255.255.0 (on Adapter tab)

   DHCP server enabled checked (on DHCP server tab)

   Server address/netmask: 192.168.56.100/255.255.255.0

   Server lower/upper address: 192.168.56.100/192.168.56.254

5. Give ok.

6. In starting of the oracle virtual machine there are different tab like General ,system , Display ,storage,Network etc.. Click on Network

7. Open one dialog box, select Enable Network adapter attached to ->host only network and main thing is that in Name tab, choose adapter that you are choosing in preference both adapter much be match example you choose virtualbox...2 then here also choose that one.

Answer 3

I had the same problem and tired all the above solutions and did not work for me! the problem was because multiple networks make conflict between VMware and VirtualBox, and other VPN connections. The solution i followed is:

• solution 1 :

uninstall virtualbox and reinstall the last update of it

• solution 2 :

If solution 1 not working, try this uninstalling all VPN programs, VirtualBox, Genymotion and reinstalled VirtualBox and Genymotion again. both solutions worked with me

Answer 4

For windows users: Disable Hyper-V and its tools

If you are a windows user, the problem might simply be because of having multiple virtualization technologies in your system.

You might be having Hyper-V and its related features enabled. Just simply turning them off and rebooting your system can do you help sometimes.

Here is how you do it:

1. Fire up Run (Ctrl+R)
2. Type appwiz.cpl and press enter
3. Head over to Turn Windows features on or off
4. Find Hyper-V and deselect everything under it.
5. Press Ok and give your system a restart.

Fireup your genymotion and check to see if it works again. If there is an error prompt saying something like DHCP cant assign IP... just try restarting your genymotion application.

Answer 5

I had exactly the same problem as you, tried everything, but the solution is really easy:

1. Open Network and Sharing Center
2. Change adapter settings
3. Right click your Virtualbox host-only adapter and select Properties Enable "Virtualbox NDIS6 Bridget Networking Driver"

Answer 6

I'm running OSX. The solutions suggested didn't work for me. I'm using OSX Yosemite. I restarted my Mac then I uninstalled VirtualBox by launching the uninstall script (which is shown when you launch the dmg of VirtualBox) then reinstalled it. I also uninstalled and reinstalled Genymotion. Now everything is working smooth.
