Android Emulator on headless server. Is it possible?
I have spent many hours since yesterday to run Android Emulator on my Online.net server via VNC.
I have tried genymotion with and without virtualgl with no luck. Setup windows inside virtualbox and install bluestack, still with no luck. Today I installed android studio, also with no luck running the emulator.
What can I say is that they complaints about graphic except android studio that have only a timeout error.
So, before I waste more hours on this, can anyone tell me if it is possible to run any Android Emulator on dedicated server via VNC?

It's more than possible. You're probably confused in that it generally runs as it's own VNC instance, rather than under X11. You can make it attach to an existing VNC service, though. Here's a simple example for a VNC service running on X11 compatible display 1; obviously fill in the data which suits you:
You can run Android-x86 in KVM.
x11vnc
I had a bad multiple experiences with android x86, could not run anything above KitKat 4.4. All newer versions just bootloop.
Did you update your radio and modem firmware?
Cool. I was already started to search for a server with GPU LOL. I will look into it. Thanks for the head start.
There are no complete tutorial for this as far as I searched.
So correct me if Im wrong.
Setup vnc (in my case, I used tightvnc) and run it. Which will have display :1 and port 5901
Install x11vnc and start it with option
-display :1
and it will have port 5900Connect vnc port 5900 (x11vnc) and Im done?
If yes, why genymotion simply wont run with error
The X11 connection broke
?I have no knowledge about these things. Any help would be great.
Yeah turns out I run 4.0.4 in my KVM. Dunno what use the OP has for it, but aside from development, for most of the casual client-side uses Android 4.4 should be fine today.
