Genymotion on Ubuntu - Won't start virtual device

Question

When I start a virtual device it just hangs with the message "Starting virtual device"

The steps I have taken:

1. Installed virtual box via apt
2. Downloaded Genymotion from the website executed the .bin file and installed it
3. Ran it and downloaded a virtual device and started it

Basically, I haven't changed any of the settings but I tried starting it multiple times and it doesn't work.
