http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1184392 Bug ID: 1184392 Summary: VirtualBox shared folder always owned by root Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: Current Hardware: x86-64 OS: openSUSE Tumbleweed Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Other Assignee: screening-team-bugs@suse.de Reporter: shundhammer@suse.com QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- I have been working with Tumbleweed in a VirtualBox VM since Corona forced us all into home office, and it had always worked fine to use a shared folder from my host system for software development. I even wrote up the procedure how to get this working, and that's what I did (and verified): https://github.com/shundhammer/huha-linux-tips/blob/master/doc/virtualbox-ti... But this stopped working since I got back to work with that VM today after a TW update: Everything in my shared folders is now owned by root, and I can't get it back to normal.
