Trouble running genymotion

Squerl101 · 12-23-2015, 09:46 AM

Hey guys, I haven't used Linux in a while and I am thinking that I am overlooking something simple here.

I am trying to run genymotion but I get this when I try to run it.

Code:

alec@toolbox-pc:~/Downloads$ cd genymotion/
alec@toolbox-pc:~/Downloads/genymotion$ chmod 777 genymotion
alec@toolbox-pc:~/Downloads/genymotion$ ./genymotion
bash: ./genymotion: No such file or directory
alec@toolbox-pc:~/Downloads/genymotion$

As you can see, I can use chmod on the file without any issues, but when I try to run the file, it does not exist?

Any help would be appreciated. I haven't used linux in years so I am a little rusty...

Bump. Hasn't anyone else used this software before?

please post the output of

Code:

ls -al ~/Downloads/genymotion

btw, it is preferable to use

Code:

chmod +x

instead of

Code:

chmod 777

to make a file executable.

Code:

ls -al ~/Downloads/genymotion

returns

where did you download this from?
shouldn't it be installed somehow, instead of just extracting it?
maybe those are binaries incompatible with your machine architecture?
have you tried executing "player", "genyshell" or "gmtools" instead?

I visited the website. It appears that this is a paid application. Have you clicked on the support link or looked at the User Guide?

From the User Guide:

Quote:

Almost every GNU/Linux system comes with an installer package for Oracle VM VirtualBox.

Browse for the Oracle VM VirtualBox installer in your directories.
If you do not have the installer or if you need to install a specific version, download and install VirtualBox for Linux hosts from the Download VirtualBox page.

When installing VirtualBox, in the Custom setup window, make sure VirtualBox Networking is enabled.
Go to the Genymotion download page.
Download the Linux package corresponding to your system.
Run the following commands:

chmod +x <Genymotion installer path>/genymotion-<version>_<arch>.bin
cd <Genymotion installer path>
./genymotion-<version>_<arch>.bin -d <Genymotion installer path>
Run Genymotion using the following command:

cd <Genymotion installer path>
./genymotion

If you use Linux, make sure that the dkms package is installed and that it compiles VirtualBox kernel modules each time a new kernel update is available. To do so, run sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv status.
You should get the message "VirtualBox kernel modules (vboxdrv, vboxnetflt, vboxnetadp, vboxpci) are loaded". If not, force VirtualBox kernel modules compilation by running sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup. Make also sure that you are part of the vboxusers group. If not, run sudo usermod -a -G vboxusers <login>.

i remember having used genymotion on archlinux for a short while. i didn't pay for it and it wasn't illegal to do so.
i don't remember the specifics anymore, but i do remember that the "player" command was important.

i wanted it for web development for mobile platforms, but found it much too cumbersome for that task.
firefox has more useful tools for that, built in.
