Problem is fixed. I tried to reïnstall Guest Additions, but this time I was sure that I installed the software as "root" user. Now everything works fine!

Question
I cannot list the items of a shared folder, on my Virtualbox with Ubuntu Server installed. I installed Guest Additions and shared my Windows folder like visualized here:
After adding the folder I mounted the folder on Ubuntu using vboxsf. Everything went fine so far. Now, I can access the folder and the subfolders by refering to it (using the "cd" command), but I cannot list anything or run any file. Everytime I try to run a command, it stops doing anything (without showing any error or whatsoever), see screenshot below: Same for listening the folders, it just stops doing anything:
the windows folder is the shared folder with my files hosted on my Windows desktop. The strange part is, on my Virtualbox with CentOS installed everything works just fine.
Anyone who has a solution for this?
