I'm running Xubuntu 12.04.4 as the host and have installed a copy of Xubuntu 14.04.1 as a guest, with my home folder on the host (/home/jk) set up as a permanent shared folder, not read-only, and auto-opened.
However any attempt to browse that folder through its mount point at /media/sf_jk returns "Access Denied." The same thing happens if I open a copy of Thunar as root via "gksudo thunar" and attempt to browse it. However if I go into the terminal emulator, do "sudo -i" to get to a root prompt, and then "ls -l /media/sf_jk/" I do get the listing.
All attempts, so far, to modify the permissions have failed without any error messages. These include remounting with uid=1000, chown -R, and chmod 777 among others. Typing "mount" shows the shared folder open with GID=999,rw as its options, and I'm a member of group 999. The permissions for the mount point are rwxr-x--- which should make the folder readable to me but not writable (although I do not have read-only checked for it in VBox).
It's rather pointless to have a shared folder to which all normal access is denied. Has this happened to anyone else? VBox version is latest with all updates, installed and updated via Oracle's PPA. Guest additions are installed and everything else seems to be working. Suggestions?
