Linux Guest Additions Lubuntu 13.4 - wrong kernel compilation when run

[Anthony NaRaine]

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

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
