>sshfs? Did you mean that sshfs installed on the host is blocking the guest from seeing and mounting shared folders? Or did you mean that I should install sshfs on the guest and use it to access shares on the host? I have recently become aware that Guest Additions do not appear to be installed on the guest, or at least, not correctly installed. Since the initial installation there has been a folder /media/jjj/VBOXADDITIONS_4.4.46_105129. (4.3.36 is the version of Virtualbox installed on the host.) At the top of the guest window there is Devices > Insert Guest Additions CD Image .... Clicking on it brings up a file browser window with installation programs for Linux, Windows, Solaris. I selected VboxLinuxAdditions.run, made it executable and double-clicked on it. That popped up a Mousepad window that said: The document was not UTF-valid Please select an encoding below. ( ) Default (UTF-8) (*) System (UTF-8) ( ) Other [ISO-8859-14] Invalid byte sequence in conversion input [Cancel] [OK] #[OK] is grayed out The 8859-14 was grayed out, but I assumed that the run software in Xubuntu 17.10 had detected that as the byte sequence for the file, so I selected it, but the OK button remained grayed out. The button with 8859-14 is a drop-down which gives a lot of other encoding formats. I tried half of them but the [OK] button remained grayed out. At this point I am stuck. Any suggestions? _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
