Black screen in Genymotion

Question

My Genymotion installation is unable to start my virtual devices. The same virtual devices starts properly in VirtualBox. Only black screen with button on right side appears in Genymotion. Buttons works (opens dialogs) and emulator is connected to adb and I'm able to start applications from Eclipse.

Answer 1

Your network adapter can be misconfigured: Edit the Host-only Network that is listed in the network category of the File/preferences menu of VirtualBox. The adapter's IP address has to be in the same network (192.168.56.0/24 by default) as DHCP server's IP address and DHCP's IP address bounds. If all those addresses are not in the same network, then your Genymotion virtual device might not be able to start. You can also remove the Host-only Network. Genymotion will recreate it automatically at the next virtual device start.

Your firewall can block the application Please check your firewall rules

You can check the log files (see FAQ about Does the Genymotion application produce log files to help me understand a functionnal problem?) to see if an error occured. If no error is present, then try to restart your virtual device directly from the VirtualBox application.

The problem might be the graphic driver. I am still trying to figure out the exact reason. Meanwhile try the following:
These commands print out the configuration of a Ubuntu machine:

$ date && lsb_release -sd || cat /etc/*release && uname -s -r && \
unity --version && /usr/lib/nux/unity_support_test -p && dpkg -s mesa-utils
