Solution 1:

I also had the same problem when I tried to use Genymotion on Ubuntu 14.04. At first, it worked, but it did not the next day and gave the same error message. I didn't find a fix for it directly, though I think the problem was because of the AMD Catalyst driver that I was trying to install for my HD7790. If you also use ATI driver and Ubuntu 14.04, this may help you:

I reinstalled Ubuntu, and did step 4, 5, and 6 in the AMD section.

This solve some issues that I had with the driver from AMD website: - QtCreator : libgl, something with swrast driver - Computer freezes during suspend - Genymotion unable to initialize subwindow system.
