[Bio-Linux] Bio-Linux Digest, Vol 78, Issue 1

[Parham Pourbozorgi]

Hi,
Thanks for looking into it. I tried the steps, it seems there is no vboxsf
available. This is the output:
sudo usermod -aG vboxsf $USER
usermod: group 'vboxsf' does not exist

I must add that I installed VMware's tools with default values, in case
they had to be changed.

Cheers,
Parham

Kind regards,
