DDR user does not have access to sf_ddrshared

[pkikawa]

current perms for sf_ddrshared:

drwxrwx--- 1 root vboxsf

this is on a vm that i created on my home desktop, set sf_ddrshared perms with chmod 770 - then booted up at the HQ. currently only the root user has perms to view the contents of sf_ddrshared - ddr user does not.

also the ddr venv does not launch when su'ing to ddr

debian 11 virtualbox 6.1.32

Is it possible that the Virtulbox Guest Additions were not installed? I did a test install this morning and the /media/sf_ddrshared did not appear until I had installed guest additions.

Also, is the non-root user you're using part of the vboxsf group? There is a task in ddr-cmdln/Makefile that adds the ddr user to this group but it doesn't do anything to the densho user or anybody else.

Note that the ddr-user task is run several steps after the ddrlocal-master package is run.

Virtualbox Guest Additions is installed (followed the standard install steps w/o issue.

i was trying to access the sf_ddrshared folder with the ddruser.

Can you confirm that ddr is in the vboxsf group? (run cat /etc/group|grep vboxsf)

[pkikawa]

cat /etc/group|grep vboxsf vboxsf:x:998:

Please add ddr to the vboxsf group and let me know if it works. You can do this one of two ways:

• Install ddrlocal-master, cd /opt/ddr-local, and then sudo make ddr-user
• Edit /etc/group and add ddr to the vboxsf line so it looks like this: vboxsf:x:998:ddr (i.e. add ddr after the final :).

make ddr-user worked - not sure why it didn't work the first time i ran it during the initial install.

ddr venv is also now automatically activating when switching to ddr user.

Cosmic rays? Phase of the moon? Let me know if it happens again.
