I have installed Ubuntu 14.04 as guest OS in Virtual box and my base OS is widnows8.1 Pro. I am relatively new to Ubuntu OS

When I am trying to share the files between Host OS to guest OS I did the following things

  1. I have installed Guest additions
  2. After that I set the Shared folders and the given name as "Ubuntu-shared"
  3. After that I have given the command sudo mount -t vboxsf UbuntuShared /media/UbuntuShared

I am getting the following error

[sudo] password for sudhakar: 
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on UbuntuShared,
       missing codepage or helper program, or other error
       (for several filesystems (e.g. nfs, cifs) you might
       need a /sbin/mount.<type> helper program)
       In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
       dmesg | tail  or so

Apparently there is a bad symlink. I had the exact same problem and this fixed it. Good luck.

sudo ln -s /opt/VBoxGuestAdditions-4.3.10/lib/VBoxGuestAdditions /usr/lib/VBoxGuestAdditions
