Why Genymotion doesn't work even if VirtualBox installed?

Firstly, I have installed VirtualBox throught the terminal. After that installed Genymotion. My OS is Ubuntu 16.04. But Genymotion tells that I need to install VirtualBox. What can be the reason for that?

I get this when I've used up all 128 of my host-only NAT adapters,

I've searched the web and there doesn't seem to be way to a) remove them all in a batch or b) make Genymotion use the same one instead of creating a new one every time it starts. (Although one page I read made it sound like that is supposed to be the case!)

The fix for me:

1. Start VirtualBox
2. Go to File -> Preferences -> Network and open the "Host-only Networks" tab
3. One by one remove the vboxnet(0 to 127)'s!

Although you could just remove one and then start Genymotion - but you'd have to do it again next time! :)

Now if anyone knows how to stop Genymotion creating them ...

If you downloaded/installed GenyMotion first then installed VirtualBox. Try rebooting your system, then relaunching GenyMotion. After doing this I was able to get the emulator up and working.
