Check the /home/user/.Genymobile/Genymotion/genymotion.log file and at last 10 lines of the file you will get somthing like this:

 Nov 7 06:39:54 [Genymotion] [Debug] Check that file is not already present 
    Nov 7 06:39:54 [Genymotion] [Debug] Getting currently authenticated user from  Hub

    Nov 7 06:40:27 [Genymotion] [Debug] Timeout 
    Nov 7 06:40:27 [Genymotion] [Debug] Error code  2 :  ""

Then copy the link for the virtual device which is http://files2.genymotion.com/dists/4.1.1/ova/genymotion_vbox86t_4.1.1_130923_161308_w_gapps.ova and paste it on web browsers address bar and press enter. It will start downloading the image file. Then put this image file to /home/user/.Genymobile/Genymotion/ova/ and restart Genymotion.
