I recently downloaded the latest Genymotion version,2.7.2 (I had a previous version before, I don't remember which exactly) however whenever I try to launch an emulator, the device pops up for about a minute but before loading completely it freezes. Not only that, but when this happens the entire Desktop freezes. I'm able to move the cursor, but nothing else responds (even the clock stops working). No clicks or keys do anything and I'm forced to restart my Desktop via the power button on my machine. I'm running Ubuntu 16.04.
I've tried 3 separate times with 3 separate emulated devices and the same thing happens every time. Until I get this fixed I can't do my job, so I would really like some advice.

Genymotion Desktop has been designed to run in a physical environment, not in a virtual machine. For this reason, Genymotion Desktop will not work if run in a Windows, Linux or macOS VM. Also, Genymotion Desktop has been designed to work on a workstation, not a server.
Also check that you have at last 4GB of ram set for device. Also newer versions of android run slower but if you have so slow startup times as 10 minutes for genymotion, maybe its just that your system is out of resources because of some misbehaving application in the background.
Genymotion is an easy to use, lightweight, and robust multi-platform Android emulator. This emulator is not one of the generic emulators; it is used to run and test apps efficiently and effectively. It uses the OpenGL functionalities, which make it a fairly fast emulator.
You need to open Oracle VM Virtual Box that was installed with GenyMotion (or manually). Select the emulator and go to "configuration -> Advanced" and check "enable drag and drop" or something like that. Relaunch the emulator and drag n drop should be available ! Enjoy !
Had same problem, I changed video card driver from Software & Updates -> Additional Drivers rebooted and no freeze again

Had the same error on 16.04, fixed it by uninstalling virtualbox, then reinstalling from the deb image from the official page here https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads
then running
sudo dpkg-reconfigure virtualbox-dkms
also switched to nvidia proprietary drivers
