Linux Guest Additions Lubuntu 13.4 - wrong kernel compilation when run — at Initial Version

Description

I had an issue when installing guest additions in lubuntu 13.4 desktop.

I ran script as root and it appears to install but not working. (Screen does not auto-size, no clipboard etc) The fix for me was to remove old kernels

Ubuntu Cleanup: How to Remove All Unused Linux Kernel Headers, Images and Modules January 8, 2011 by Ubuntu Genius

dpkg -l 'linux-*' | sed '/ii/!d;/'"$(uname -r | sed "s/\(.*\)-\([0-9]\+\)/\1/")"'/d;s/[ ]* [ ]* \([ ]*\).*/\1/;/[0-9]/!d' | xargs sudo apt-get -y purge

And then it installed and worked! I think the script needs to check current active kernel and compile against that?

Thanks Raine
