When the error is reported during booting, Ubuntu asks whether to 'Skip' the mount or 'Manually recover' via a root prompt.
Then click the OK button.Errors occur when booting a linux guest if /etc/fstab tries to mount a shared folder.Īfter boot-up the share is mounted in spite of the error, but only root can write files in it. Change the value of Shared Clipboard and Drap’n’Drop to Bidirectional. To accomplish that, open the settings window of your virtual machine. How to enable copy and paste clipboard between host and guestĪnother thing you may want to do is enable copy and paste clipboard between host and guest. File created in shared_folder actually resides in /media/sf_shared_folder. The above command will create a shared_folder directory under the user’s home.
You can create a soft link that points to /media/sf_shared_folder. Now you can access the /media/sf_shared_folder directory. Log out of the current session and log back in. Open up a terminal in the guest machine and enter the following command. So what we need to now is add your user to vboxsf group. By default, only root and members of the vboxsf group have read and write access to this directory. In /media/ directory of the Linux guest, you will find a new directory called sf_shared_folder if the shared folder name on the host is shared_folder. Check Auto-mount to auto-mount the shared folder when the guest OS boots up.
You can check Read-only to let your guest have read access but no write permission to the shared folder on the host machine. Then in the Folder Path field, select a folder on your host machine. Then click on the add button to add a shared folder. In the Virtualbox Manager window, right-click on your guest machine and select Settings.
In a previous tutorial, I showed you how to install Virtualbox guest additions on Debian.
