Genymotion «Unable to load VirtualBox engine» on Fedora 23
After installing genymotion it turned out that genymotion needed some 64bit libraries which where not present in fedora 23 .
Installed them, now this error shows up about VirtualBox while trying to run genymotion :
I am certain that no errors occurred while installing VirtualBox . Anyways, here’s the log from genymotion .
I’m new to Linux and VirtualBox .

Okay! Found out what the problem was. Writing this answer so that it might help someone else with a similar problem.
The problem was with virtualbox, when genymotion would run it, virtualbox needed to point to the kernal. It turns out I had installed the required packages but weren’t the same version as my kernel. So, all i had to do was update the packages.
The packges in step 2 are required by virtualbox, better update the system before installing them; ensuring the system automatically downloads the appropriate versions of those packages.
1) Update kernel/system,
2) Install the following packages,

Genymotion will not load a virtual device
I have been using Genymotion for about 4months now and all was well until I updated Virtual box to 4.3 . I did not like it because I didnt know how to run 64 bit OSs on it,so i downgraded to 4.2 . Now genymotion machines wont run. at the end of every machine (factory-backup) is appended and this is the error I get:
Failed to open a session for the virtual machine Galaxy S4 — 4.2.2 — API 17 — 1080×1920.
Failed to open/create the internal network ‘HostInterfaceNetworking-VirtualBox Host-Only Ethernet Adapter’ (VERR_INTNET_FLT_IF_NOT_FOUND).
Failed to attach the network LUN (VERR_INTNET_FLT_IF_NOT_FOUND).
Result Code: E_FAIL (0x80004005) Component: Console Interface: IConsole
Reinstalling genymotion or virtualbox yields no results. I am also running VMware on my machine. Please help I use this for development purposes

The following steps from an answer on the superuser community (https://superuser.com/a/1002243) worked for me. I’m running VirtualBox 5.0.10 on Windows 10, with the Fall 2015 Windows 10 update. In my case, the problem seems to be directly associated with the Windows 10 update. (I’m using VirtualBox in conjunction with Genymotion 2.6.0, but I don’t think the Genymotion version is a factor.)
- Open Windows «Network and Sharing Center»
- Click «Change adapter settings»
- Right click your Virtualbox host-only adapter and select Properties
- Enable «Virtualbox NDIS6 Bridget Networking Driver» (if it’s disabled — if it’s not, see next)
If the checkbox in step 4 was disabled, VirtualBox should work just fine now (no reboot needed). Otherwise repeat steps 3-4 for every network adapter you have (Ethernet, WiFi. ) and always uncheck the NDIS6 checkbox -> apply -> check it again -> apply.

GenyMotion Unable to start the Genymotion virtual device
When I run Genymotion, I get the following error:
Unable to start the Genymotion virtual device.
Unable to configure the network adapter for the virtual device.
Please, check the following points:
From VirtualBox, in the main parameters of software, check a network adapter «Host-only» is present. From VirtualBox, in the Genymotion virtual device parameters, check the first network interface has the type «Host-only». If no, then set this parameter manually.
How can I fix that?
21 Answers 21
Update: Before you read further, I want to notice that I didn’t have any problems since I upgraded VirtualBox to 4.3.4.
I use VirtualBox 4.3.2 under Ubuntu 13.10. I had same issue after upgrading from Genymotion 2.0.0 to 2.0.1.
These are the steps I followed to fix this, although I’m not sure which one works for you.
Step 1. Start VirtualBox, go to menu File/Preferences menu, go to Network section, select Host-only Networks tab.
If you don’t have any adapter defined, then you can create one (as indicated below) or you can ignore step 1 and Genymotion will create it when you try to start the VM.
If you do have an adapter there (vboxnet0) click the edit button. In the edit window, you must have DHCP server enabled AND the IP address and allocation pool of the server must be inside same network as the IP of the network controller. For example, I use:
- IPv4 address/netmask: 192.168.56.1/255.255.255.0 (on Adapter tab)
- DHCP server enabled checked (on DHCP server tab)
- Server address/netmask: 192.168.56.100/255.255.255.0
- Server lower/upper address: 192.168.56.100/192.168.56.254
Still in VirtualBox, select the Android VM you have, click Settings button, select Network section. In the Adapter 1 tab, you should have:
- Enable network adapter checked
- Attached to: Host-only adapter
- Name: vboxnet0
Normally, if you have all these settings, it should work ok, but it didn’t for me. So I moved to step 2.
Step 2. As indicated by Genymotion, start VirtualBox, go to menu File/Preferences menu, go to Network section, select Host-only Networks tab and delete the defined adapters.
Start your VM in Genymotion. Genymotion will recreate the adapter with proper settings (as described in step 1)
Normally, if step 1 didn’t work for you, step 2 should work ok, but it didn’t for me. So I moved to step 3.
Step 3. Delete and recreate the Android VM in Genymotion (VirtualBox host-only network settings I left as described in step 1).
This solved my issue and Android VM works ok now. Good luck.
Update: A day after posting answer, when I was first starting a VM in genymotion, it gave again same error again and vboxnetdhcp process crashed (and restarted). On second and later start attempts it worked ok. So it might still be some minor issue there with VirtualBox DHCP process.
Update: The issue seems to reside in virtual Box DHCP server which crashes:
Deleting and recreating the VM fixed again the issue. Maybe Genymotion sends some invalid data to VBox DHCP that makes it crash (still a VBox bug though).

VirtualBox throws out error while starting the Genymotion
I face an error to start the GenyMotion. Its related to the VBox, which fails to start throwing out the following error.
I have tried almost all of the suggested steps, but no luck. Below is the log of the VBOX. Please go through it and suggest the changes to be made.

Problem is that oracle virtual box doesn’t install the network adapter correctly. Uninstall VirtualBox and Genymotion, install VirtualBox stand alone from https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads then install the Genymotion package without VirtualBox.
try to uninstall npcap or winpcap if installed, (often comes with network monitoring tools like wireshark) then reinstall genymotion and delete all android devides and create new, this fixed on 2 different windows 10 machines.
After searching for 3 days and all other solutions didnt work for me I found: Laravel Vagrant Up SSH Problems
Just before the end tag of your YAML file
And now all works again Thanks Kratos.
Try to delete the registry key «HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareGenymobileGenymotionhost.only.interface»

Genymotion error at start ‘Unable to load virtualbox’
I’ve installed the genymotion+virtualbox package on Windows 7 64-bit and everything goes fine. But when I start Genymotion it presents me an error message Unable to load virtualbox .
VirtualBox is installed and I’m able to start it manually. I’ve tried to install the packages separately, updated virtualbox to 4.2.16 but nothing worked.
I’ve already read genymotion FAQ but it did not help.

I have spend all day to solve this error since none of the answers worked for me.
I found out that oracle virtual box doesn’t install the network adapter correctly in windows 8.1
- Delete all previous virtual box adapters
- Go to device manager and click «Action» > «Add legacy hardware»
- Install the oracle virtual box adapters manually (my path was C:Program FilesOracleVirtualBoxdriversnetworknetadpVBoxNetAdp.inf )
Now that virtual box adapters is installed correctly, it needs to be setup correctly. (the following solution is like many other solution in here)
- Start Oracle VM VirtualBox and go to «File» > «Preferences» > «Network» > «Host-only Network»
- Click edit
- Set IPv4 192.168.56.1 mask 255.255.255.0
- Click DHCP Server tab and set server adr: 192.168.56.100 server Mask: 255.255.255.0 low address bound: 192.168.56.101 upper adress bound 192.168.56.254
- Now click OK and start genymotion

This worked for me using GenyMotion 2.0.3 and VirtualBox 4.3.6. My problem was I have an existing host-only adaptor that is used by Vagrant. I can’t simply delete it, it will trash my Vagrant VM.
Create a new host-only adaptor in the Virtual Box global settings.
Give it a separate address space from any existing host-only adaptors. For example, I set mine up as follows, where I also have a vboxnet0 (used by Vagrant) that uses 192.168.56.x
name: vboxnet1
IPV4 address: 192.168.57.1
mask: 255.255.255.0
DHCP:
address 192.168.57.100
mask: 255.255.255.0
low bounds: 192.168.57.101
high bound: 192.168.57.254
Then, edit your existing GenyMotion VM to use this host-only adaptor, and restart it from GenyMotion.
Good luck!

I had the same issue and this fixed it:
Go to Network and Sharing Center > Change adapter settings and enable these:
- Local Area Connection (if it’s disabled)
- VirtualBox Host-Only Network
I think that enabling the second will do the job, but I did the first anyways.
Hope it helps.

It may be because of you assigned more than 50 % RAM memory to your emulator.
Open Oracle VM --> Settings --> General And then Decrease memory assigned to the device.
And in Newer Versions,
Open Oracle VM --> Settings --> System --> MotherBoard Tab And then Decrease memory assigned to the device

The following resolved the problem for me:
-
Go to Control Panel -> Network and Internet -> change adapter settings
Right click on VirtualBox Host-Only Network and select properties
The following options must be ticked- client for microsoft networks
- virtualBox bridged network driver
- qos pocket scheduler
- file and printer sharing for microsoft network
If see another program select and uninstall it.
-
In VirtualBox go to File -> Preferences -> Network
Double click on VirtualBox Host-Only ethernet adapter
Edit like this:
IPV4 address:192.168.56.1mask:255.255.255.0
DHCP: address192.168.56.100mask:255.255.255.0
low bounds:192.168.56.101high bound:192.168.56.254
Restart or log off your windows and start genymotion
If that didn’t solve your problem in VirtualBox go to File -> Preferences -> Network and delete Host-Only ethernet adapter.

Open Virtual Box. Select your virtual Android Device and click on Settings.
Select Network.
Make sure «Enable Network Adapter» box is checked. Also Make sure «Attached to:» has «Host-only Adapter selected». Note the name of the adapter.
Open Settings and click on «Network & Internet»
In the window that opens click on «Change Adapter Options»
In the window that opens you can find many Network names listed. Find the network name that matches with the network name that you noted earlier in the Virtual Box.
Note if that network is Enabled or Disabled.
If the network is Disabled, right click and click Enable.
If the network is Enabled, right click, click Disable and then again click Enable.
Close the window, open Genymotion and start your Virtual Device. The device should now boot without any error.

It seems your VirtualBox installation doesn’t work correctly. You should try to reinstall/upgrade VirtualBox so that during the installation process it fixes this «Interface not found» issue.

I had the same issue and figured it out today. I had to release the existing virtual drives before Genymotion would allow me to create a NEW virtual drive. Once you click create new drive, it prompts you to login to your Genymotion cloud account. Now I am actually able to run it. Hope this helps.
Edit* Also tried reinstalling AND repairing Virtualbox multiple times and still got same error. Only until I released the existing virtual drives did it start working.

Genymotion FAQ
To date, VirtualBox is not yet fully compatible with Windows 10. As Genymotion relies on the use of VirtualBox in the background, some problems may arise. If you have any troubles running Genymotion on Windows 10, we first recommend that you put VirtualBox in a clean state. To do so:
- Uninstall VirtualBox.Reboot your computer if prompted by the installer.
- Install the version of VirtualBox recommended for Windows 10
Reboot your computer if prompted by the installer. - Open VirtualBox and go to File > Preferences > Network.
- Remove all existing host-only networks by clicking Description 1.
- Start Genymotion a first time.
- In the event of a failure, start Genymotion a second time.
If Genymotion still doesn’t run, you can manually configure a host-only network:
- Open VirtualBox and go to File > Preferences > Network.
- Add a new host-only network by clicking Description 1.
- Edit its configuration by clicking Description 1.
- In the Adapter tab, set the following values:
IPv4 Address: 192.168.56.1
IPv4 Network Mask: 255.255.255.0 - In the DHCP Server tab, set the following values:
Check Enable Server.
Server Address: 192.168.56.100
Server Mask: 255.255.255.0
Lower Address Bound: 192.168.56.101
Upper Address Bound: 192.168.56.254

I did the following to resolve mine:
- Open VirtualBox and check the new machine that is created for you by GenyMotion
- Right Click on it and choose Settings then go to the Network section/tab
-
In Adapter 1 tab, It should be attached to Host-Only Adapter. Check what is the name of the used adapter Name then close it.
-
Open File|Preferences in Virtualbox, then go to Network section/tab
-
Under Host-only Networks tab, find the same name you have already gotten in step 3.
-
Double click on that name and apple the following configuration
- Adapter Tab:
IPv4 Adapter: 192.168.65.1-
IPV4 Network Mask: 255.255.255.0 -
DHCP Server:
- Check «Enable Server»
- Server Address:
192.168.65.100 - Server Mask:
255.255.255.0 - Lower Address Bound:
192.168.65.101 - Higher Address Bound:

I recently had this problem, and setting up the virtual network configurations did not work. I found this then:
https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=70199
Virtualbox seems to vhave a bug in recent releases.
Reinstall it using cmd prompt, and use this as arguments for the executable : -msiparams NETWORKTYPE=NDIS5
This did the trick to me. I’m on windows 10, using the VirtualBox-5.0.10-104061-Win version.
Note that, this seems not to be a problem with genymotion only.
Hope I spare you some time. I sure spent more than I thought it would take me.

You can check the version of your genymotion and virtualbox. The genymotion 2.5.3 would work better with virtualbox 4.3.30.
answered Sep 6, 2015 at 12:56
1.Run VirtualBox as administrator
2.Go to File -> Preferences -> Network -> Host Only Networks
3.Add a new one or just edit and delete all existed
Adapter Tab:
IPv4 Address: 192.168.0.201
IPv4 Network Mask: 255.255.255.0
DHCP Server Tab:
Server Address: 192.168.0.100
Server Mask: 255.255.255.0
Lower Address Bound: 192.168.0.101
Upper Address Bound: 192.168.0.199
At fast open VirtualBox and then open Genymotion. It then not work just change the Address and try again and restart your PC.

There is a known issue with the new NDIS6 driver, you can install it to use the old NDIS5 driver
Steps I followed:
1.Uninstall Virtualbox and try reinstalling it using command prompt.
2. Run command Prompt in administrative mode;
3.Check your Network Drivers if you are using NDIS6 or 6.+ ;
Write >VirtualBox-5.0.11-104101-Win.exe -msiparams NETWORKTYPE=NDIS5;
4.Now Follow the install steps and finish installation steps.
5. Now try starting device with VirtualBox.
This worked for me.

VirtualBox: Failed to Create Host-only Network Interface on Ubuntu Linux
VirtualBox: Failed to Create Host-only Network Interface on Ubuntu Linux
After I installed Ubuntu to my Laptop, I began to install my favorite applications. Everything went smooth. One of my favorite application is VirtualBox. I’m big fan of it, and I use it on both Windows and Linux systems. All of my virtual machines are created on VirtualBox. So I installed VirtualBox, copied a virtual machine from my backup storage and just before run the virtual machine, I remembered that I need to set up IP address of the host-only network. I opened the network tab in VirtualBox settings and I couldn’t see any Host-Only networks (there should be one in default). So I clicked to “Add Host-Only Network” button and got a strange error:
I haven’t seen this error before. I have checked if “/dev/vboxnetctl” exists, and unfortunately it doesn’t. It’s obvious that the “vboxnetctl” file should be a part of VirtualBox software but it wasn’t there. One of the good thing of VirtualBox is, you can do everything using command line. So I tried to add host-only network using command line, and this time I see “a warning message” before the error:
/ Desktop $ sudo VBoxManage hostonlyif create
As you see, vboxdrv kernel module is not loaded because it doesn’t work with the current kernel of my system. So I need to recompile vboxdrv kernel modules. When I run the “/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup”, I get another error because the kernel headers for my current kernel are not installed:
So I installed the kernel headers and re-compile VirtualBox kernel modules:
/ Desktop $ sudo apt — get install linux — headers — 3.5.0 — 26 — generic
/ Desktop $ sudo / etc / init .d / vboxdrv setup
After the kernel modules started, I re-tried to add “Add Host-Only Network” and it worked successfully.

Nachbar, it seems you have a problem with Virtualbox installation. Have you installed it using apt?
Thanks! your solutions works 🙂

Thanks a lot. In my case the error did not mention the kernel version so had to execute “uname -r” to figure it out. Hope it helps someone else.
Awesome!! You saved a lot of time for me.

Hello, I am trying to install a working version of Virtualbox but once I run the downloaded file as Administrator and install it, I am unable to find anything listed under the Host-only Networks under Settings in the Network tab.
The error below is what I’ve been getting.
“Failed to create the host-only network interface.”
I had initially tried the latest version (4.3.6) and when that didn’t work, I downloaded version 4.3.4 and lastly tried 4.2.16 as well. I read somewhere that using an older version may resolve the issue. However, all of them reported the same error.
Any information of how to resolve this will be appreciated!
I use Windows 7. I also noticed that each time I try to add the host-only network from the settings, a new instance of “VirtualBox Host-Only Ethernet Adaptor” is created. I now find 6 such instances listed under network adaptor in the Device manager.

Post the output of the following command:
And if you can explain to me how exactly you’re trying to create the HostOnly network, that would help.
Also, do you have any 3rd party antivirus, 3rd party networking software installed, anything else that you can think of that might interfere with the network?

Allow me to disagree. I’ve seen multiple cases, and a quick search will clear any doubts that you might have. I didn’t just ask a random question, there’s logic behind the madness.
- Uninstall VirtualBox. Your VMs are going to be untouched. Reboot.
You may want to clean up your registry and/or filesystem at this point. CCleaner is a freeware utility that could help you. Mind the installation, it comes with «offers» from 3rd parties, known as «bundleware». Also, check out Device Cleanup program that helps you to remove any unused devices from your computer, mainly multiple «Host-Only Adapter #n».
Download (if you haven’t already) the latest VirtualBox and its matching ExtPack. Store them in a common location, i.e. not on «Desktop», or «Documents», but to «Public/Downloads» for example.
Uninstall (don’t simply disable) all 3rd party antivirus. If you’re afraid about your computer being vulnerable, pull the Ethernet plug, disconnect your WiFi, don’t go browsing around.
Locate the downloaded file in Windows Explorer. Right-click on the installer and select » Run-as-Administrator «, even if you are the administrator . At the end of the installation, choose to «Start Oracle VM VirtualBox». Do not worry if your VMs do not show up.
If you’re going to install the ExtPack, go to File » Preferences » Extensions. Click on the icon with the orange, down-pointing arrow on the right. Select the ExtPack from the previous steps.
Quit VirtualBox. Re-start VirtualBox as you would normally, i.e. from the Desktop shortcut or the Start menu.

Issue: Failed to create the host-only network interface
Issue: Failed to create the host-only network interface
by Borhanx » 22. Feb 2013, 16:32
I’ve big problem with Virtualbox 4.2
I’m using ubuntu 12.10 , 64bit.
and I installed virtualbox 4.2 with this exactly steps:
http://www.n00bsonubuntu.net/content/ho . ntu-12-10/
(I did this steps extactly)
Then when I opened Virtualbox -> File -> Prefrences > Network > add host-only network (lns)
I got this error message:
( I attached error message picture in the topic)
when i type this command:
Code: Select all Expand viewCollapse view borhan@ubuntu:
$ cd /dev/vboxnetctl/
bash: cd: /dev/vboxnetctl/: No such file or directory
(so the vboxnetctl directory doesn’t exsist !)
How can I fix this problem ?
Re: Issue: Failed to create the host-only network interface

Couple of things that you need to do.
1) add your user name to the vboxusers group.
In a host terminal run this:
- Code: Select allExpand viewCollapse view sudo usermod -aG vboxusers
Replace with the name you use to log in. Type your user password when prompted.
Be sure to log off and back in to finalize the change in permissions
2) instead of logging off reboot the host and see if you still have this issue.

Well the results are the same and it indicates that VirtualBox is not installed properly.
When installing did you see any errors?

The log is telling you what your problem is.
You need to install the headers to match you running kernel.
Then run /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
Re: Issue: Failed to create the host-only network interface

the problem was in kernel headers
and i tried to create host-only network adapter, and it’s successful created.
thanks too much dear Perryg .
