Can confirm that VB using shared folder is working for MX23-BETA2(XFCE, x64). Here's a screenshot of my VB settings (right-hand side), with VB using a shared folder (lower middle portion), and the Host machine showing the 2 files in VB in Host's directory (upper left portion of the screenshot), called "VB_HOST": Unfortunately, FF crashes every time, about 3 seconds in!Set up a shared folder from your host to the virtual appliance. Machine Settings > Shared Folders > Add, set permissions and automount, provide a simple name. Keep all things the same for simplicity, we'll go with the name Host. On your daily driver, make a folder called Host and use this folder as the source, the Share name and the mount point in the VM
Boot the VM, create a new folder called Host, open a terminal and issue the command as below.Code: Select all
sudo mount -t vboxsf Host ~/Host
Code: Select all
$ sudo mount -t vboxsf VB_HOST ~/VB_HOST
Yeah, easy enough to just use the Terminal one-liner, and not even worry about the "extensions" (Guest Additions?).This is required for running Live, but for an installed VM, you only need the VirtualBox extensions installed in the virtual OS. Personally, I never install the extension pack, I just do as above. When you're all done, you can use this folder to transfer content between the host and the guest.
In the same vein, I found that the MX-Comfort conky configs need some attention (e.g., battery not reporting)--will look tonight.Melber wrote: Tue Jun 20, 2023 3:32 am Just for info
I found a bug in mxfb-look where conky isn't being reset correctly.
Think I see the small code change it needs, will check tonight.
