Some info about my Host and Virtual Box Pup I see that Puppy works a lot differently to Mint, but no matter what I've tried, I can't seem to achieve in Puppy what I could easily do with Mint.Īccess to a folder on the hosts via the VirtualBox "Shared Folders" feature in particular.
I'm still very much a Linux noob but have had some limited experience playing around with Linux Mint 20 CInnamon. It now boots from the VDI and runs brilliantly, so long as I don't try to modify it! I've already screwed it up and had to reinstall it three times in a single day, so I'm going to be treading a little more carefully from here on lol I could see, work with and permanently map them.New to the forum and to Puppy, but have been playing around with it and got so impressed with its speed that I've now installed it as a permanent VM I created with a fixed 16GB VDI that I formatted with the ext4 filesystem. Since everything is hard to find in Win10 settings, here's what I mean:ītw: My checkbox on the shared folders look like so:ītw: Before I had named them Documents and Pictures, perhaps that was too generic and caused trouble, perhaps not.
I turned off the windows firewall, suddenly I could see my shared drives! (I then turned it on again. Not related, but kinda proof that some features of GuestAddition can somehow get swept away, perhaps by further Win10 Updates or such. And install the VBoxWindowsAdditions-amd64.exe there.Īlso another nasty problem VirtualBox problem of mine instantly went away. Otherwise, dragging would not be possible). (Kinda proof that I had pre-existing guest additions, if I think about it. if you like), and drag that folder onto your guest desktop. Hint 2: If you are to lazy to re-add a CD Drive with all the rebooting, you can unpack that iso in your (Ubuntu) Host for example (remove anything x86/OS2/sun. iso can directly be downloaded here (precisely match your virtual box version, as shown in the about menu) Install matching Guest Additions again (I did so earlier in setup, well.) Things I did (I cannot regress, if one of them is superficious) Well, I had the same issue, mounting my host Documents and Pictures folder.
