How to unlock the folder?

Please tell me how to unlock the folder, which was marked with a red arrow in the screenshot, so that you can enter without admin privileges.

You start a lot of threads. You started I install BunsenLabs in Virtualbox, which is installed in Windows.

That was about installing Virtual box Guest additions. It is essential for Virtual box shared folders to work.

Re: How to unlock the folder?

I am currently logged in not under the administrator account and I can’t freely access this folder from Linux. I only know how to go to this folder through the console. Thus, I can watch the names of the files that are there and it is possible to run them for viewing. It is not comfortable. I want to go into this folder not only this way, but in the usual way with the help of computer mouse clicks, too.

Yes! That is the default way nowadays. You can not login to the desktop as root. You can run applications as root and in terminal change account to the root.

and I can’t freely access this folder from Linux.

You dont give much information about what you have done to resolve your problem. We have to guess a lot. Have you in guest terminal issued the command Imbecill gave in link:

$ sudo adduser $USER vboxsf

If you dont add your user to that group, $USER wont get access to shared folder.

I have not done this yet, because I do not know if it is necessary to replace the abbreviation USER with my login in the operating system.

No it is not an abbreviation, $USER is a variable.

The command

$ echo $ USER

will print out the login-name of the regualr user issuing it.

The command

$ sudo adduser $USER vboxsf

will use adminrights of the logged in user and add his accout to the group vboxsf.

You can use $USER or your accont-name. The reult is the same. But, it is easier to just copy the command and paste it in the terminal..

Re: How to unlock the folder?

I copied and pasted this command into the terminal. She successfully processed. Now, if I understand correctly, I must restart the operating system. I don’t know if I have to make any changes so that the working configuration changes are saved, and not disappear after a reboot.

At the moment, the folder still does not allow me to log in from under a limited account.
