[Solved] No share folder

[philippe97]

Hello
my configuration : host snow leopard, VB 4.3.40, guest Mint 17.3 Rosa xfce 32
I 've installed the guest additions, process seems going to the end, see the logs attached,
I've the good screen resolutions, i can select the share folder and name it as share but it doesn't appear on the desktop,
i'm waiting for /home/user/share but there's nothing; is there a special command to see the share folder ??
thanks for your help

Not sure why you posted two (almost) identical logs, but it's a good thing that you posted them in separate ZIP files; it made it easier to delete one of them. Not all logs are needed, just one log that shows the problem.

but it doesn't appear on the desktop

It will not appear on the desktop. It depends on how you mount it.

i'm waiting for /home/user/share but there's nothing

It won't appear there either.

00:00:00.965867 Host path '/Users/philippeherzog/Desktop/share',
                map name 'share',
                writable,
                automount=false,
                create_symlinks=false,
                missing=false

I suggest you turn that Automount feature on in the VM Settings » Shared Folders » edit your share and enable the Automount feature.

Then in your guest you're going to see the share in "/media/sf_share". If you can't access the share, you'll need to make yourself part of the "vboxsf" group:

• 
  sudo usermod -a -G vboxsf <your_name>

Then log out and log in again.

OK thank you very much; it's ok now; i've done the sudo command and i've a share folder now in "/media/sf_share"

So my problem is solved !

Just a question this path "/media/sf_share" is the normal one ?
because in an other configuration who works fine, the path is "/home/<my_name>/share" ...

Thank you

OK thank you very much; it's ok now;

Glad you got it going. Marking as [Solved].

Just a question this path "/media/sf_share" is the normal one ?

Yes. The automounted shares are mounted in "/media/sf_<ShareName>". See the User Manual for more details.

because in an other configuration who works fine, the path is "/home/<my_name>/share" ...

That depends, you may have mounted the share manually, but I highly doubt that you would want to mount something in your user home folder.
