[SOLVED] How do I file-share between LL guest & LL host in Oracle Virtualbox?
#1
I have no problems setting up file sharing between a windows 7 guest in a LL2.2 host, using Oracle Virtualbox, having already done this a few times on different laptops.

However, when the guest is changed to a distro e.g. ubuntu 14.04, with LL2.2 host, I have problems setting up file sharing.  The problem is something like this...

... the 'Guest Additions' appear to install correctly.  However, when I go to...
Browse Network (within the guest) → Lappy → linuxliteshare, 
a window opens up with a password request for linuxliteshare.  However when I put my Administrator password in this doesn't seem to work.

Any clarification much appreciated.
Kind regards
Mike

2012 - Lenovo G580 2689 (2cores; 4threads] ~ [email protected] - LL3.8/Win8.1 dual-boot (LL working smoothly)
2011 - Samsung NP-N145 Plus (1core; 2threads) ~ Intel Atom [email protected] - LL 3.8 32-bit (64-bit too 'laggy')
2008 - Asus X71Q (2cores) ~ Intel [email protected] - LL4.6/Win8.1 dual-boot, LL works fine with kernel 4.15
2007 - Dell Latitude D630 (2cores) ~ Intel [email protected] - LL4.6, works well with kernel 4.4; 4.15 doesn't work
