hi
I installed an upgrade of VM around about the time of Sage 5.8 release ...
the response to os.system('ls -alZ /media') is:
ls: cannot access /media/sf_Auxiliary_files: No such file or directory
drwxr-xr-x. root root system_u:object_r:mnt_t:s0 .
dr-xr-xr-x. root root system_u:object_r:root_t:s0 ..
?--------- ? ?
sf_Auxiliary_files
256
the host OS is "Windows 7 Home Premium" (2009)
and trying a non-Dropbox folder yields the same problems with your original
things (os.system('ls /media') etc); only now there is an extra line
to os.system('ls
-alZ /media'), viz:
drwxr-xr-x. root root system_u:object_r:mnt_t:s0 .
dr-xr-xr-x. root root system_u:object_r:root_t:s0 ..
drwxrwx---. root vboxsf system_u:object_r:mnt_t:s0
sf_Auxiliary_files
0
ie something has changed ...
Volker, I really appreciate the time you are putting into this but please
don't worry any further - I'll wait a week or two until I'm "back with my
Macs" and then hopefully do it the easy way ....
Thanks a lot
Kind regards
Gary
