I'm using virtual-box. The guest is Ubuntu. The host is Windows 7. I have a shared folder (shared by the host and the guest).

The problem is that in the guest (Ubuntu) I cannot rename/delete/edit the files in the shared folder. For instance, after I edit the file and try to save it I get the following error message:

Could not save the file fileName. Unexpected error: Error renaming temporary file: text file busy

In the host (Windows) I can rename/edit/delete without any problem. What can I do?

I'm using ubuntu in virtualbox and cannot scroll. What can I do?

EDIT: My host is Windows 7. I'm using a laptop (Lenovo ThinkPad X201s) and I'm trying to scroll not with a mouse wheel but with the red dot which function as a mouse.

I've recently installed Ubuntu on Oracle's Virtualbox. Now I want to install the guest additions.

I started up my Ubuntu guest OS, clicked "Devices" and chose "Install Guest Additions". Nothing happened, and I don't see the CD icon on my desktop.

How can I make this work?
