I installed Linux Lite 4 as a guest in Virtualbox. The installation went flawlessly. Just as in Linux Lite 3.8, the guest dkms, utils and X11 are already there, the screen resolution gives me full screen, everything, just as in 3.8, seems ready out of the box.

So in 3.8 there was no need to install the guest additions from the CD; following OS installation, the shared folders were listed in the file manager, and after adding myself to the vboxsf group and rebooting, I was able to access them

Not so in 4.0 . Everything seems to be just as it is in 3.8, so I added myself to the vboxsf group again. But my shared folders don't turn up, there's no entry in the file manager, nor in /media, and I have no idea what went wrong. I even installed the guest additions from CD which promptly messed up everything, so I reinstalled 4.0, but am facing the same shared folder problem.

I'd be grateful if someone could shed light on this and possibly resolve the problem :-)

REPOSTED IN THE INSTALLATION SECTION AND MARKING THIS POST AS ABANDONED SINCE IT CLEARLY DOESN'T BELONG IN THE TUTORIALS SECTION - SORRY ABOUT THE CONFUSION ...
