[developers] Trouble Seeing Test Suite Instances

[Alexander Sugar]

Thanks for the suggestion. I'm not sure what you mean by "sharing"
between Ubuntu+LKB and the host OS. I'm running UbuntuLKB 17 on a Mac,
but all my files are within Ubuntu. I just tried moving the tsdb/
folder up and down within my directories in Ubuntu+LKB again to no
avail. The workaround Joshua Crowgey found for me that is still
effective is to declare my home directory as a the provided
/opt/delphin/... path.
