Virtual Box's Shared folder not sawn by virtualized Ubuntu

Post by ordipb »

Hello,

I use Ubuntu 10.10 under Virtual Box 3.2.10. It runs perfectly. I installed also the "guest add-ons", without problem.

In Virtual Box (VB) settings, I created a Shared Folder pointing to a directory of the Host, with full access.

But, in the virtualized Ubuntu, I don't see this Share.

What to do to see it ?

Thank you in advance for your help.
