/* Make VM available from different user accounts on one computer */
The following lines were added (+) and removed (-):
For existing VMs the second user will not be able to see those created under the first user's x.org login session because VirtualBox has a configuration file that lists the VMs.  If user 1 is Joe and user 2 is Nicole, we want to make it so Nicole can use Joe's VMs. cp /home/joe/.config/VirtualBox/VirtualBox.xml /home/nicole/.config/VirtualBox/VirtualBox.xmlNow they both have the same list of VMs.Next problem is permissions.  Every time Joe opens a VM under his login, the permissions get changed locking Nicole out.  The commands have to be manually entered again. cd /home/VirtualBox\ VMs chgrp vboxusers * -R chmod 775 * -R
