displaylink-debian.sh not running on fresh install of linux mint 18.3 Cinnamon 64 bit
Cinnamon Version 3.6.6
Linux Kernel 4.10.0-38 generic

when i run the script sudo ./displaylink-debian.sh I get
./displaylink-debian.sh: 8: ./displaylink-debian.sh: Syntax error: newline unexpected

can anyone help with this I am fairly new to linx

redjamesg · 2018-01-29T08:30:32Z

Look at #89 and #65

musabmian · 2018-01-29T08:36:42Z

sorry yes i tried without sh and bin/bash
i just ran
sudo ./displaylink-debian.sh

musabmian · 2018-01-29T08:51:38Z

ref to #65
git reset --hard && git pull returns the program git is currently not installed so I installed it

again ran sudo ./displaylink-debian.sh and got this
/displaylink-debian.sh: 8: ./displaylink-debian.sh: Syntax error: newline unexpected

musabmian · 2018-01-29T09:04:18Z

will try again after installing update files

redjamesg · 2018-01-29T09:05:00Z

What if you change to root and run the script, without sudo interpreter.

su

./displaylink-debian.sh

musabmian · 2018-01-29T09:15:47Z

su returns this

musab-2 DL # ./displaylink-debian.sh
./displaylink-debian.sh: line 7: syntax error near unexpected token newline' ./displaylink-debian.sh: line 7: < !DOCTYPE html >'

musabmian · 2018-01-29T09:58:35Z

please help I am stuck

redjamesg · 2018-01-29T10:05:01Z

What does it display with
$ which bash
And maybe see what it tells you with
$ file /bin/bash

musabmian · 2018-01-29T10:07:27Z

musab@musab-2 ~ $ which bash
/bin/bash
musab@musab-2 ~ $ file /bin/bash

redjamesg · 2018-01-29T10:09:51Z

What does
$ ls -l displaylink-debian.sh
Show, I am wondering if the executable bit is set on the file.

musabmian · 2018-01-29T10:11:46Z

yes i went to properties/permissions and set it to allow execute as program earlier

redjamesg · 2018-01-29T10:16:41Z

Yes those should be updated.

redjamesg · 2018-01-29T10:17:09Z

Every package claiming to be upgradeable better be upgraded.

sorry closed by mistake

adangel · 2018-01-29T10:48:51Z

It looks like that the script displaylink-debian.sh is corrupt. Can you execute md5sum displaylink-debian.sh and report the output here?

Example execution:

$ md5sum displaylink-debian.sh 
0f7b5f4b85806d685c703f7d26635ca0  displaylink-debian.sh

If the md5sum doesn't match, then your copy of the script is broken. How did you download it?

musabmian · 2018-01-29T10:50:09Z

musab@musab-2 ~/Downloads/DL $ md5sum displaylink-debian.sh

musabmian · 2018-01-29T10:51:15Z

i downloaded it from this page
will try to dl again and try
thank you

musabmian · 2018-01-29T10:56:08Z

deleted the old one
downloaded a new copy

same result

You can also download it as a ZIP file from here: https://github.com/AdnanHodzic/displaylink-debian/archive/master.zip

After you have downloaded it, you'll need to unzip it, e.g.:

$ unzip displaylink-debian-master.zip 
Archive:  displaylink-debian-master.zip
075594536fe4683a5e25aec99e3b6379662ef2ea
   creating: displaylink-debian-master/
  inflating: displaylink-debian-master/README.md  
  inflating: displaylink-debian-master/displaylink-debian.sh  
  inflating: displaylink-debian-master/post-install-guide.md  
$ md5sum displaylink-debian-master/displaylink-debian.sh 
0f7b5f4b85806d685c703f7d26635ca0  displaylink-debian-master/displaylink-debian.sh

Note: the script will be then in the subfolder displaylink-debian-master.

adangel · 2018-01-29T10:57:31Z

It's probably your browser, that messes things up. Are you using this page: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AdnanHodzic/displaylink-debian/master/displaylink-debian.sh for downloading (menu file, save as)? Otherwise you'll save a HTML page and not a script...

musabmian · 2018-01-29T11:00:06Z

Thank you so much

the zip worked will keep you updated
