1. [OT] last bit of the puzzle

I've got VirtualBox running Ubuntu, on windows 10, and just exhausted myself getting that pesky "Guest Additions" thing installed, which gives me a decent sized screen and a Share directory. smile

From several years ago, I have a (self-created) readme.txt in my home directory, with "sudo mount -t vboxsf share /mnt/Share" which does exactly what I want. smilesmile

But of course I do not want to "open that file/copy that text/open a terminal/paste" every time I reboot none so where's it go? I'd google it but I thought someone here would know anyway.

I won't say any more just yet, but things are looking pretty good so far. getlost

2. Re: [OT] last bit of the puzzle

What is "sudo mount -t vboxsf share /mnt/Share" supposed to do? Are you trying to mount a shared folder common to Windows and Ubuntu?

Given that I don't understand you "sudo" command...

I run things in un-reverse order: Linux then use Virtualbox to get a Windows virtual machine.

Assuming Guest Additions are working, I access "Shared Folders" in the Virtual Box manager and just add a directory (flagged as Auto-mount and Access Full): then both OS can read and write.
