Failed Shared folders: vitualBox 2.1.0 with Guest Additions installed

[cli]

Please help!!! I have spent days trying to fix the problem:

The "OK" button is disabled under Settings/Shared Folders/...;

VBoxManage sharedfolder add "kubuntu" -name "SharedFolder"
-hostpath "C:\SharedFolder"
gives error message:

"VBoxManage list vms" shows no virtual machine although I have kubuntu as the user (not root):

kubuntu@kubuntu-desktop:~$ VBoxManage list vms
VirtualBox Command Line Management Interface Version 2.0.4_OSE

I have Window XP as the host, and Kubuntu (8.10.x86) as the guest.

Help is greatly appreciated!!!

What is the exact name of your guest ? Is it "kubuntu" or "Kubuntu" ? Or is it something else ? "kubuntu 8.10" ???

Not that name. The name you gave it in VirtualBox. In VirtualBox' GUI, Details tab, General section - the text beside "Name".

[cli]

The text beside "Name" is the same: kubuntu.

Thanks!

epic mis understanding

First your user name is "kubuntu" your host name is "kubuntu-desktop".

What I am asking is the name of your guest kubuntu system in VirtualBox

When you open the virtual box control panel, and it lists your virtual machines, what it the name of the machine (what is the name you gave the machine when you created it in VirtualBox)?

I have only one virtual machine in the virtual box control panel, and it's name is kubuntu, the same as the user name.
