Public bug reported: I tried adding a shared folder to Ubuntu 12.10 running in a VirtualBox environment. I was unable to do so and the system also crashed once while trying. There is some mounting issue. Not sure if this is because 12.10 is an alpha release. I tried installing Guest addons, but for some reason this was not successful. It said:
"Building the VirtualBox Guest Additions kernel modules The headers for the current running kernel were not found. If the following module compilation fails then this could be the reason. Building the main Guest Additions module ...fail! (Look at /var/log/vboxadd-install.log to find out what went wrong) Doing non-kernel setup of the Guest Additions ...done.
