I install Genymotion on the Ubuntu 16.04 64Bit. I created a virtual emulator for Android 6.0 then I run this emulator but emulator is disappearing and the emulator is running background. I checked the emulator on the VirtualBox and I saw this issue:

Answer 1

I solved the issue:
System Settings > Software & Updates > Additional Drivers :

Then you click Apply Changes button and you restart your pc.

I don't know reason of the issue, open source driver is not running for Genymotion but NVIDIA is running.

Answer 2

Just go to your install directory and delete the libdrm.so.2, then restart.

Use command:

cd /genymotion/install/directory
mv libdrm.so.2 libdrm.so.2_bk

And then restart.

Here is the reference: Genymotion is not working

Answer 3

For those who struggled with this problem, I just could not get it to solve - tried different versions of virtualbox to see what is compatible with genymotion etc

Finally I directly downloaded and android vdi from here http://www.osboxes.org/android-x86/

and installed it as in

wwhew ... that worked

Hope that helps

Answer 4

I had exactly the same issue as in the image but i am using Windows 10 and the version of Genymotion is 3.0.1, so the problem was that my graphics card no longer matches Genymotion requirements. So simple solution was that I had downgrade Genymotion to 2.12.2.
