After installing VB 6.04 my shared folder doesnt work anymore in Ubuntu. I see the folder but it is empty, though it is on windows site normally accessible. I tried to mount a new folder, also this isn't working. Also the drag & drop funtion doesnt work anymore. I hope therere will be soon an update which fix the bugs.
Or does anyone can help?
Thank you!

Did you update the Guest Additions (GAs) in your guest? You should be updating them whenever you update VirtualBox.

Hello socratis,
yes, all the updates of the guest additions are made!
I was hoping, as many user seem to have both problems, too, that there will be an update soon ...

We need to see a complete VBox.log, from a complete VM run, where the problem occurs:
- Start the VM from cold-boot (not from a paused or saved state) / Observe problem / Shutdown the VM (force close it if you have to).
- With the VM completely shut down (not paused or saved), right-click on the VM in the VirtualBox Manager and select "Show Log".
- Save only the first "VBox.log", ZIP it and attach it to your response. See the "Upload attachment" tab below the reply form.

Oh, one more thing... in order for your guest user to be able to see the contents of the folders, you need to be a member of the 'vboxsf' group:
You have inserted the Guest Additions (GAs) CD, but you haven't actually installed the GAs. What you need to do is to open up a Terminal, and navigate to the CD (replace "<username>" with your actual "username"):00:00:02.894563 File system of 'C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\VBoxGuestAdditions.iso' (DVD) is ntfs 00:00:41.456173 VMMDev: Guest Additions information report: Version 5.2.8 r120774 '5.2.8_KernelUbuntu'
cd /media/<username>/VBox_GAs_6.0.4/ sudo ./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run
So, you install the packages that it asks for:This system is currently not set up to build kernel modules. Please install the gcc make perl packages from your distribution.
sudo apt-get update <-- This will update the list of available packages sudo apt-get install gcc make perl <-- This will actually do the installation
cd /media/<username>/VBox_GAs_6.0.4/ sudo ./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run
Oh, one more thing... in order for your guest user to be able to see the contents of the folders, you need to be a member of the 'vboxsf' group:
sudo usermod -a -G vboxsf <username>

... drag & drop was working then but the guest addition not. But this made it finally and now everything is good. Thank you so much!
