(step 3 was necessary as neither if statement would trigger for me.)

Best of luck!

I'm new to elementary OS and I don't know what to do next, to tell the computer to install the script.
I edit the .sh script to contain:.. (line 270-ish)

echo "Adding udev rule for DisplayLink DL-3xxx/5xxx devices"
  add_udev_rule
  echo "Starting DLM upstart job - OUTSIDE IF STATEMENT @CUSTOM EDIT"
  add_upstart_script
  add_pm_script "upstart"
  start displaylink
  if [ "upstart" == "$SYSTEMINITDAEMON" ]; then
    echo "Starting DLM upstart job"
    add_upstart_script
    add_pm_script "upstart"
    start displaylink
  elif [ "systemd" == "$SYSTEMINITDAEMON" ]; then
    echo "Starting DLM systemd service"
    add_systemd_service
    add_pm_script "systemd"
    systemctl start displaylink.service
  fi

However, doing the fancy chmod +x on the shell script and running it, does nothing. Executing the original .run appears to execute the original (unfixed) file, and I can't execute a folder.

Please, tell me what you did. :S
