how to virtualbox and other things ?

[pavel]

dont have permissions to use /media/sf_(X)_DRIVE. in virtualbox shared folders enabled etc, even googled and followed the top guidelines with no success. windows host.

second one - you have http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/DevelopmentGuide and text file on ubuntu desktop - those 2 needs some sync.

I don't know about virtual box, but the cygwin login name has to match the windows login name to have access to windows drives. I think I have to log onto windows with a password, too, but not sure about that.

found the solution:

mkdir share
sudo mount -t vboxsf foldernameonhost ~/share/

/media/ is the debian/ubuntu  mount point for drives, not shares. I was confused.

i want to add patch http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/9305 but it gives me error about /apps/action.c
patch file is in /rockbox and terminal command is also run from there. also there is said something about hunks which i have no idea what that could be.
is there some way to use this patch with current rockbox ?

That means that the patch is out of sync. You will have to merge code by hand, at least for the chunks that failed.

is there a chance to get the original rockbox 3.13 source (from 2013) somehow?
as im not familiar with programming, i hope that comparing files from working version would help to resolve current issues.

Yes, you can get any version you want using the git checkout command.  See here:
