Genymotion "The connection to the virtual device has been lost.

Question

I have just recently installed Genymotion and VirtualBox on Solus and when I start a virtual device y I get this error:

The connection to the virtual device has been lost.

Please restart the virtual device.

When I start the machine the screen loads but it's all in black and then I get that error.

I googled that and I found that I must reconfigure de Host-only network adapter but unfortunatly it didn't resolve the problem. I also tried reinstalling virtualbox and genymotion but it didn't solve the problem.

Here's my log file: http://pastebin.com/CsdCJAw3 (I posted it in pastebin because it exceeds the characters limit here)

Thanks in advance

Are you running a VPN client like Cisco Any Connect. I was running it and Genymotion was continuously showing me the same issue. I just had to stop the VPN and close the VPN app if any. Restart Genymotion and voila it connected. You can start your VPN after that and it should work.

In case it still doesn't work. After stopping the VPN or if you're not running the VPN client before starting Genymotion try running this command. This used to help me when something was causing an issue with the virtual box daemon.

sudo /Library/Application\ Support/VirtualBox/LaunchDaemons/VirtualBoxStartup.sh restart
