How to get Genymotion Desktop logs?
General logs
From Genymotion User Interface
In Genymotion Desktop main window, navigate to the Troubleshooting panel.
Then select Generate logs.
Then select an output directory.
This will generate a file named genymotion-logs-XXXXXXXXXX-XXXX.zip.
The file contains all Genymotion Desktop logs.
From Command Line
If Genymotion Desktop UI is not accessible, or login is not possible, the gmtool can generate the logs on the Desktop.
"C:\Program Files\Genymobile\Genymotion\gmtool.exe" admin logzip "%HOMEPATH%\Desktop"
/Applications/Genymotion.app/Contents/MacOS/gmtool admin logzip ~/Desktop
~/genymotion/gmtool admin logzip ~/Desktop
Note: If Genymotion is installed somewhere else, you may need to replace "~" by the Genymotion installation absolute path. If unsure, you can use the command to locate gmtool: find gmtool ~ | grep -w gmtool
/opt/genymobile/genymotion/gmtool admin logzip ~/Desktop
This will generate a file named genymotion-logs-XXXXXXXXXX-XXXX.zip which contains all Genymotion Desktop logs on your Desktop.
Auto-generated logs
Genymotion automatically creates a genymotion.log file at each start. The log file contains basic general logs.
The file can be found in the following folders:
Windows: %LOCALAPPDATA%\Genymobile
Linux and macOS: $HOME/Genymobile
Generate a log archive of a specific virtual device
Right-click on the virtual device from Genymotion Desktop main window.
Click Generate logs.
Select the path to save the generated archive.
Wait until the archive is generated and click Close.
This will create a file named genymotion-logs-XXXXXXXXXX-XXXX.zip which contains the logs from the virtual device you selected.
