Shared folder problems
Re: Shared folder problems
Since I tried multiple things I found in different forums I have already rebooted several times after I added myself to vboxsf.

Re: Shared folder problems
Again, what's the output of "id". If it doesn't show that you're a part of the 'vboxsf' group, you're not doing it right. If I remember correctly, the proper command is:
usermod -a -G vboxsf <YourUsername>
id

Re: Shared folder problems
The output of "id" stays the same.

Re: Shared folder problems
Looks like there was an error in the group id. Now "id" says I'm in vboxsf. But there's still no difference regarding the shared folders.
Re: Shared folder problems
Now those (empty, pw protected, auto mounted) folders are in group root...

What folders? Where are they? What do they look like? Permissions? (in Unix-like style)Larvae wrote:Now those folders are in group root

Re: Shared folder problems
1. For some reason vboxsf had an id that was already in use.
2. The folders created by VirtualBox as auto mounting points for the shared folders. They are in my home directory and have the following permissions
Deleting and rebooting doesnt change them. And, like I said before, mounting them manually doesn't work either.

Code: Select all
drwxr-x--- 2 root root 4096 Mai 27 10:46 sf_first
drwxr-x--- 2 root root 4096 Mai 27 10:46 sf_second
