to run legacy operating systems and software that may no longer be supported by newer operating systems.providing a self-contained environment in which to experiment with new software without risking damaging changes to the host operating system.Some typical reasons to use a Virtual Machine include Although some versions of Linux (including Ubuntu) exist that are optimized to run as a guest OS in a virtual environment, any Linux operating system usually will function equally well. (Instead, Virtualbox passes hardware-related instructions through the "host" operating system's drivers.) VirtualBox can run all versions of Windows, Linux, and many other x86- and AMD/Intel-based 32- and 64-bit operating systems as either a host OS or as a guest OS. VirtualBox can run a "guest" operating system in a window of the host operating system without giving it direct access to your computer's hardware. This document provides information on using the VirtualBox system emulator in Ubuntu. Using VirtualRDP (VRDP) to View Guest VMs.Alternatively, you can just drag the folder in Nautilus to the right navigation area and it will create an easy to access link. However the name-of-link shouldn't exist in the directory where you want to create the link(That is there should be no folder or file with that name). Replace sf_shared with the actual name of the shared directory and name_of_link with whatever you want. In Terminal (assuming that you are in the directory where you want the link to appear and that you've enabled the Nautilus plugin that gives you the context menu option ) do: ln -s /media/sf_shared/ name_of_link. They're usually named "sf_name-of-shared-folder".įor quick access, you may want to create a link to the shared folders in the home folder. Confirm from your media folder if the shared folders are present.
This command appends the current user to the vboxsf group, which is the owner of the shared folders (found in /media/ on the Ubuntu box). Am assuming you have already enabled auto-mount while you were adding the folder.
So here is how to access your shared folders on Ubuntu VM(Oracle Virtualbox).
