Hi Stephen,
For the first part, I can't help you. I don't a Windows computer for the
moment.
But for the shared folder, I might have an easier work around.
Especially for a workshop.
Just go to user and groups, and add user to the vboxsf group. Then
logout and log in again but without reboot ! And you should have access
to your shared folder from /media/
Best regards,
Nicolas

Hi all,
I just tried to install OSGeo Live 10.5 on Windows using VirtualBox
5.1 and ran into a bunch of problems. I will allow for that fact
that this is my first attempt to do this, but want to document the
issues.
1. Follow the link to get VirtualBox and installed it on Windows 10
64-bit machine.
2. tried to install vmdk following the instruction, I could not get
this to work. Issues are:
* VirtualBox Dialogs are different on 5.1, but could basically
follow the intent.
* when I tried to start the VM it launches and I get black screen
with _ cursor and nothing more. Powered off VM, restarted it, same
result. Could not find a work-a-round to this issue
3. Created a new VM using the 32-bit iso. For some reason,
VirtualBox would not allow me to create 64-bit VM, so its a good
thing you supplied a 32-bit iso also.
* Launching this VM, fails with No boot disk error.
* Launching this VM and quickly hiting F12 key, brings up boot
options and selecting "c" to boot from CD-ROM, boots into Linux
installation Menu
* If you select "Try Linux without installing" from the menu, it
brings up OSGeo Live, but no where are these steps documented and I
tried menu options before discovering this.
4. Once in OSGeo Live, I could not access my shared folder. It took
me some time to work around this but eventually this worked:
sudo umount /media/sf_SharedFolder
sudo chmod 777 /media/sf_SharedFolder
sudo mount -t vboxsf -o rw,nodev,uid=0,gid=120 SharedFolder
/media/sf_SharedFolder
I noticed the rc.local adds vboxsf group to user, but it does not
appear in the user account:
user@osgeolive:/media/sf_SharedFolder$ id
uid=999(user) gid=999(user)
groups=999(user),4(adm),20(dialout),24(cdrom),27(sudo),29(audio),30(dip),33(www-data),46(plugdev),50(staff),100(users),121(tomcat8),125(lpadmin),126(sambashare)
I'll be using OSQeo Live at FOSS4G Boston to present the pgRouting
Workshop.
-Steve
