Just as in Linux Lite 3.8, the guest-dkms, utils and X11 are already there, the screen resolution gives me full screen, everything, just as in 3.8, seems ready out of the box. This concerns Linux Lite 4 as a Guest in VirtualBox. I'm re-posting this since initially I posted this query in the Tutorial section by accident, which was dumb because it's not where it belongs I'm not an expert and can only assume there must be a more elegant solution, though what it might be I haven't a clue -) This gives ownership of the shared folder to root though, which can be overcome by doing sudo mount -t vboxsf -o uid=1000,gid=1000.īut this is all rather cumbersome, specially with half a dozen or more shared folders. An entry in /etc/fstab can make this mount permanent. I have since been able to at least mount the shared folders in my Linux Lite 4 guest, by doing a mkdir in ~/home to which the shared folder can refer, then mount the shared folder doing sudo mount -t.
I don't intend to run another VM as a guest on my Linux Lite 4 Guest, if you see what I mean it's the Linux Lite 4 Guest which plays funny with the shared folders. I am running a number of VM machines (on top of Mint LMDE2 as host), and in all of them, including by the way a fine Linux Lite 3.8, everything re shared folders is as it should be. Thanks for your reply, though unfortunately it doesn't seem to solve this strange problem.
