I have Genymotion working on 14.04. I did not use the VirtualBox package from the repository, but used the installer on virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads because I wanted the latest version. You could try that. Also, the error in the image says there is a log file. It would probably be helpful to see the contents of that log file.

Well you're lucky. I just get./genymotion: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpangoft2-1.0.so.0: undefined symbol: FcWeightFromOpenType. Straight upgrade from 16.04 to 16.10 btw. Edit1: Apparently, I got it working by addingsudo. Also, protip: For ease of access, trysudo ln -s /opt/genymobile/genymotion/genymotion /usr/bin/genymotion

Got and solved the same problem on Ubuntu 17.10:
Install the latest version of VirtualBox for your Ubuntu release
Fix the "missing headers" error:
$ sudo apt install virtualbox-5.2
[...]
This system is currently not set up to build kernel modules.
Please install the Linux kernel "header" files matching the current kernel
for adding new hardware support to the system.
The distribution packages containing the headers are probably:
linux-headers-lowlatency linux-headers-4.13.0-16-lowlatency
There were problems setting up VirtualBox. To re-start the set-up process, run
/sbin/vboxconfig
as root.
by installing the missing headers:
sudo apt install linux-headers-lowlatency linux-headers-4.13.0-16-lowlatency
Rerun the setup process by running:
sudo /sbin/vboxconfig
