Is this bug known?

I have problems with access rights. I can only work with the shared folder as root.

Any idea?

In your Mint and Ubuntu guests, open the terminal and add your user name to the vboxsf group.

Code: Select all   Expand viewCollapse view

sudo adduser username vboxsf

replace username with your login name for the guests.
Reboot the guests.

Does it only happen if 3D Acceleration is enabled?

I had to change the account name.

In my VirtualBox Fedora Rawhide guest, I needed to do an SELinux relabel, and during the process I got the warning

filespec_add: conflicting specifications for /opt/VBoxGuestAdditions-4.3.18/lib/VBoxGuestAdditions/98vboxadd-xclient and /opt/VBoxGuestAdditions-4.3.18/bin/VBoxClient-all, using system_u:object_r:bin_t:s0.

It doesn't cause any problems I'm aware of, but I don't see a ticket for it, so thought I should ask if it's a known bug. I've never seen it in anything earlier than 4.3.18.

Hello Guys,

I have a problem after installed 4.3.18:
Host: Linux RedHat 6.5 - 2.6.32-431.30.1.el6.x86_64
Guest: Windows 2008 R2

A bridged connection using wlan0 does not work anymore
I cannot use eth0.

I don't know if it is relevant. I also upgraded the libvpx from 0.9.x to 1.3.0.5

Do you have an idea for me ?
Thanks for your time.
