Question or issue on macOS:

I keep getting the following error:

I have reinstalled, deleted and tried about EVERYTHING to get Genymotion to work again.

I do not have the device I need, but Genymotion was PERFECT for the job, until Mavericks update I have been fighting to get it to work again.

MacBook Pro, Retina 13-inch, Early 2013.
i5, 8gb.

I’m running version 1.3.1 for os x.
I do have Virtualbox 4.3 installed with Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-4.3.0-89960.vbox-extpack too.

My Virtualbox starts up normally without ANY errors.
I tried Environment variables putting vbox on my $PATH, all sorts of things.
Nothing works!

I have no idea what to do anymore, anyone out there had similar problems and fixed it ?

EDIT:
LOG:

EDIT 2:

VBoxManage list hostonlyifs

Prints the following:

How to solve this problem?

Solution no. 1:

I had the same problem and solved it by running the following command:

In later versions, the command is

Make sure you’ve unblocked VirtualBox’s kernel extensions in System Preferences->Security and Privacy->General (You’ll get a popup when you install VirtualBox).

Solution no. 2:

Eventually, you might not have anything in your /Library/StartupItems.

Using the following command helps :

It worked for me on two different Mavericks installs.

Genymotion Mac

Solution no. 3:

Update: Genymotion’s 2.5.1 release (https://www.genymotion.com/#!/release-notes/251#251) seems to have fixed this issue. (thanks for the heads up @Roger!)

For those that may be stumbling upon this a bit later, I resolved this by installing VirtualBox 4.3.28 (https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Download_Old_Builds_4_3). The new 5.0.0 and 4.3.30 versions didn’t work for me with Genymotion 2.5. None of the above solutions worked 🙁

It’s also worth noting that at the time of writing, Genymotion’s FAQ states the following:

However, for performance reasons, we recommend using version 4.3.12

Solution no. 4:

You need to restart VirtualBox service you can do it with this:

If in this path is empty you can use:

After I use Parallels I always need to do it.

Genymotion Mac Download

Solution no. 5:

On Ubuntu GNU/Linux:

sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup

Solution no. 6:

What worked for me in Win 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.

Solution no. 7:

Ok after a whole productive day down the drain I got it to work.

First I uninstalled all traces of Genymotion and Virtualbox.
I then proceeded to install Genymotion and then Virtual Box again, but the previous version (4.2.18)

I ran Genymotion, Downloaded an Image, I got an error message about the network trying to run it.
So I ran it Directly inside Virtual Box, It started up 100% with network and everything.
I shut it down, went to Image’s settings and changed the first adapter to “Host-only”.

I opened the Genymotion Launcher again and “Played” my device and it started up with no problems.

Solution no. 8:

For those who are hitting this thread from Mac OSX with the same error message but a potentially different problem:

1) Check that you have opened GenyMotion through /Applications and that you have enabled the internet permissions

2) Install Virtual box from here: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads. Once you download and install, retry running GenyMotion

3) If those do not work, try Mul0w”s suggestion:

sudo /Library/Application Support/VirtualBox/LaunchDaemons/VirtualBoxStartup.sh restart

Solution no. 9:

It happens when upgrading to el capitan from yosemite. Virtual box needs to be installed again. Reinstalling geny motion does nothing. You will keep all your virtual devices unchanged.
