Error: VBoxNetAdpCtl: Error while adding new interface: VBoxNetAdpCtl: ioctl fail Host Ubuntu 16.04)
Posted: 24. Jan 2017, 16:01
for using Genymotion i need to install VirtualBox 5.0.26 on my Ubuntu 16.04 machine. Also for being able to use genymotion I need to create a Host-only Network Adapter. But when trying, i get the following errormessage. Can someone help me out here?
``` VBoxNetAdpCtl: Error while adding new interface: VBoxNetAdpCtl: ioctl failed for /dev/vboxnetctl: Inappropriate ioctl for devic.
Result Code: NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005) Component: HostNetworkInterfaceWrap Interface: IHostNetworkInterface {455f8c45-44a0-a470-ba20-27890b96dba9} ```
UPDATE
i now tried to create a Host-only Network Interface with the VirtualBox Version 5.0.28 and 5.1.14 and VirtualBox throws the same error. So it seems to be a general problem?
Can someone help me out here?
