sudo ./DLSupportTool Does NOT work
How can I report Ubuntu issues to DisplayLink?
If you believe you have found an issue that is not covered by a knowledge base article, you can help DisplayLink find the problem by providing the right information. DisplayLink provides a support tool that can check for common issues and gathers up system information, useful to DisplayLink in diagnosing problems Yeh right ... except it doesn't work command not found Mind you ... I am still a Linux infant who is still crawling ... so maybe I am missing something Last edited by Maverick; 02-25-2017 at 10:58 PM. |

Has the file been made executable (with chmod +x ...) after it was unzipped?
Cheers, Michal |

It's probably so easy once you have done it a couple of times
I have unzipped the package and have DisplayLink Linux Support Tool 1.2.17 How do I connect your chmod and DisplayLink Linux Support Tool 1.2.17 in the Terminal This is what I have had for my efforts chmod + DisplayLink Linux Support Tool 1.2.17 chmod: cannot access 'DisplayLink': No such file or directory chmod: cannot access 'Linux': No such file or directory chmod: cannot access 'Support': No such file or directory chmod: cannot access 'Tool': No such file or directory chmod: cannot access '1.2.17': No such file or directory Should I be doing it in the root (su) ? Even tried including the x Appreciate your help Last edited by Maverick; 02-27-2017 at 11:56 PM. |

Sorry
Sorry this is so painfull for those of who are in the know
I honestly thought the last entry was the answer to my prayers - what could be easier - enter my package number then ENTER No such bleeding luck chmod +x /Desktop/DisplayLink Linux Support Tool 1.2.17 chmod: cannot access '/Desktop/DisplayLink': No such file or directory chmod: cannot access 'Linux': No such file or directory chmod: cannot access 'Support': No such file or directory chmod: cannot access 'Tool': No such file or directory chmod: cannot access '1.2.17': No such file or directory What am I missing ? DisplayLink Linux Support Tool 1.2.17 is defintely the name of my unzipped package sitting on my Desktop You must think I am **** stupid Last edited by Maverick; 02-28-2017 at 08:48 PM. |

Code:
chmod +x /Desktop/DisplayLink Linux Support Tool 1.2.17
This is a really good primer for learning about the command line, if you want to get a bit more comfortable: http://linuxcommand.org/ TL;DR = try something like this: Code:
chmod +x ~/Desktop/DisplayLink\ Linux\ Support\ Tool\ 1.2.17 Last edited by AvatarKava; 02-28-2017 at 11:15 PM. |
