(Solved)can't build guest additions 3.8.0-1.generic kernel

I have Lubuntu 13.04 installed as a guest. It's been running fine until the current kernel update. Now I am getting a "can't find the headers for the currently running kernel" message although the headers seem to be there.
in /var/lib/dkms/vboxguest/4.2.6/build/make.log I see this...

Looks like they broke it again, it happens when they get close to release. I would wait a day or so and see if an update makes its way. Either that or report this to launchpad.
I had a tussle with 3.8.0 and the headers being messed up, but they fixed it fairly quick.

I reported essentially the same issue here, with Fedora Rawhide: https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/11036#comment:17

well here's something new. now I can't even mount the guest additions .iso to try and install them.

Code: Select all

Error mounting /dev/sr0 at /media/louis/VBOXADDITIONS_4.2.6_82870: Command-line `mount -t "iso9660" -o "uhelper=udisks2,nodev,nosuid,uid=1000,gid=1000,iocharset=utf8,mode=0400,dmode=0500" "/dev/sr0" "/media/louis/VBOXADDITIONS_4.2.6_82870"' exited with non-zero exit status 32: mount: unknown filesystem type 'iso9660'
gotta love alphas :roll:

The only way to fix this without waiting for the next maintenance release is to expand the guest additions and fix it yourself then run the setup from your repaired GAs.

Here is the link to the fix. https://www.virtualbox.org/changeset/44317/vbox

Also keep in mind that if you are using the Ubuntu daily testing ISO the Unity DT does not work. I installed cinnamon and it works though.

Thanks Perry. I actually have no idea how to do that but I can wait for the maintenance release. I actually was playing with Lubuntu and Xubuntu. I don't care for Unity anyway.
