Unable to create Genymotion Virtual Device

Question

I have successfully downloaded and installed Genymotion and Virtualbox as well as a Virtual Device Image but I am unable to create a virtual device.
I get an error messa

Answer 1

I followed following steps

1. I removed everything under {~/.Genymobile/Genymotion/ova} folder (with only doing this step it works sometimes)
2. removed everything under {~/.Genymobile/Genymotion/bin} folder

After which I downloaded the fresh copy and it worked like magic.

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

Double check the virtual device you're trying to create has the same version on Genymotion that you have running.

I just upgraded to 2.1.1 but all the virtual devices I was trying to install were for 2.1.0. Downgrading Genymotion did the trick.

Answer 3

A very simple Solution that i just Tried is:

1) Delete your Instalation Folder at ~/Genymobile

2) Delete the Virtual Device Folder at C:\Users\ your_name\AppData\Local/Genymobile

3) Reinstall

4) Done.

Answer 4

Deleting the Genymotion cached .ova file, deleting the corrupted deployed image, redownloading the image, and reinstalling it addressed the issue for me.

Note that the deployed images are under: ~/.Genymobile/Genymotion/deployed

the cached ova files are under: ~/.Genymobile/Genymotion/ova

Answer 5

This fixed the issue:

1. Just go to ~/.Genymobile/Genymotion/ova (Either you are on Mac OSX or Windows, you can find this path by looking for Virtualbox path at the Genymotion Settings, there is a path to Genymotion/deployed folder, you should go to Genymotion/ova folder)
2. Open the ova file with your virtualbox.
3. At the Virtualbox startup dialog box, Appliance settings, It shows Guest OS type set to Other Linux 64, you should double click and change it to your OS type (e.g Mac OSX El Captain (64-bit)) and Import:
4. Now launch Genymotion and find the virtual device in the list of already deployed ones ready to run
5. Run the virtual device, after first run you get a warning saying Genymotion version does not match with Virtualbox version and choose Continue.

In my case, the DHCP server was missing from Virtual Box's Host Only Adapter. I added a DHCP server at 192.168.56.100 with addresses from 192.168.56.101 - 192.168.56.254 and it came up.
