Error: adb server is out of date. killing... cannot bind 'tcp:5037' ADB server didn't ACK failed to start daemon

Trying to run the command adb shell as said in minute 01:57 of this video and I always get this error:

   adb server is out of date.  killing...
   cannot bind 'tcp:5037'
   ADB server didn't ACK
   * failed to start daemon *
   error:

I'm in Linux (mint distro), using genymotion and latest version of android studio, so I tried to do what someone at stackvoverflow recommended changing the genymotion->settings->ADB to use SDK adb. but that neither helped.

please help!
