I didn't pay attention but while installing the "Virtualbox guest additions" the "sudo ./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run" failed because I didn't update Ubuntu first (I then updated several times until it answered "Up to Date"). Restarted each time (Windows habit, I'm not used to Linux). The "sudo ./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run" failed again because /var/log/vboxadd-install.log said "please install the linux-headers-3.5.0-23-generic package". Googled for it and Installed-Restart (not sure if Restart is mandatory). Third attempt "sudo ./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run" passed (Restart). Ubuntu at last filled the window ! The "sudo mount -t vboxsf F_DRIVE SharedVBox" now works as it should. <br /><br />The last thing I need to solve is: How to have it mount at startup. The "mount -t vboxsf F_DRIVE /home/etienne/WindowsShared" in my /etc/rc.local file is ineffective. Yes, I didn't put the folder in /mnt. Is it wrong ?<br />ThanksAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6006114617625504970.post-25416576898295815162013-02-05T14:27:06.919-05:002013-02-05T14:27:06.919-05:00A minor and a major problem.
