genymotion

Genymotion stuck on splash screen


My peer's laptop turned off due to power failure while genymotion was running. Unfortunately, after restarting the Xubuntu 14.04 machine, genymotion stopped working. It always get stuck on the startup splash screen. I tried reinstalling genymotion and virtualbox several times, all in vain. Seems to be the problem with user authentication.

This is the log file:-

And there's nothing more to it other than this.

EDIT- "kaveri kumar" is her user name for her genymotion account. I fail to understand even though I entered Yes while prompted to delete log files, her user name is still saved somewhere in the system.


Solution

  • The problem was I wasn't removing the configuration file in /home/.config/Genymobile. Removing that and other genymotion files and then reinstalling genymotion fixed the problem. Like I said in the question, the user name and password were still saved and they were probably causing the problem.
