[SOLVED] Genymotion requires VirtualBox to be installed

I installed Genymotion 2.11.0-1 from here

When I try to run Genymotion I get the following error:

In order to work, Genymotion requires VirtualBox to be installed on your computer.

I've tried to install VirtualBox before installing Genymotion. I also tried install virtualbox-host-dkms package and reload the VirtualBox with vboxreload. Nothing helped.

Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the forums noobarcher

Have you rebooted/loaded the modules since installing VirtualBox?

Reboot solved the problem. Shame on me. Reboot always works.

Thank you slithery.

Glad it's sorted.

Don't forget to mark the thread as solved - edit your first post and prepend [SOLVED] to the title.
