Genymotion does not start (permission denied for androvm.gles.first)

Question

Genymotion is unable to start android virtual devices on my machine.

The Genymotion logs do not contain any relevant message. Instead, to debug the issue, I've launched the VM using vanilla virtualbox. The VM boots, and at some point starts to repeat the following message over and over again:

init: sys_prop: permission denied uid:1000 name:androVM.gles.first_try
init: untracked pid <some number> exited
init: untracked pid <some other number> exited

The Genymotion FAQ suggests that the output of glewinfo could help with troubleshooting. I've made it available here.

Any ideas how to solve this?

Answer 1

Check out the logs. I had problem with the network adapter and I figured it out from the logs. I found my problem in the genymotion-player.log
