http://ubuntuforums.org – I installed Oracle Virtual Box, I did install Extension Package either. But I still cannot use "Share Folders" or connect to my Flash Drive. I run Windows 7 Professional 64 bits on Ubuntu 12.04 VMs. What I received after I tried to acess "Share Folders" is that " Failed to access the USB subsystem. VirtualBox is not currently allowed to access USB devices. You can change this by adding your user to the 'vboxusers' group. Please see the user manual for a more detailed explanation. " What should I do? (Hardware)

I have tried two ways for sharing a folder on Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit so that I could access it on a Windows XP PC on the same switch:

1st: right-clicking the folder > properties > share > Share this folder and checking both "Allow others to create and delete files in this folder" and "Guest access (for people without a user account)"

2nd: adding the folder to Samba

I insatalled softs by yast.But I can't find them. I can't find any soft at "/usr/local/share".I just find folders at "/usr/share". But I can't find any file in those folders to start soft. For instance: (a)I read the apache document at: " /usr/share/apache2/manual/invoking.html.en"->"How Apache Starts". But I can't find the "apachectl" at &quot

I have a Synology NAS with a "Windows" share configured. When I click "Browse Network" => "Windows Network" in Nautilus, all I get is:

"Unable to mount location

Failed to retrieve share list from server "

Note: This has worked 100% fine before, and I HAVEN'T CHANGED ANYTHING.

Any ideas?

@cfr, I think this: # optical drives SUBSYSTEM=="block", ENV{ID_CDROM}=="1", TAG+="uaccess" SUBSYSTEM=="scsi_generic", SUBSYSTEMS=="scsi", ATTRS{type}=="4|5", TAG+="uaccess"is supposed to give you access...
