Android emulator and virtualbox cannot run at same time

Question

Whenever I have Virtualbox running, I cannot start an Android emulator image (and vice versa). The error message in the AVD manager is

ioctl(KVM_CREATE_VM) f         


        

Answer 1

I finally made this problem obsolete by using Genymotion instead of the standard Android emulator. Besides not having this conflict, it is several times faster than the normal emulator.
