Please add support for devuan Chimaera #735

Closed wfdudley closed 2 years ago

wfdudley commented 2 years ago

Your script supports only Devuan ASCII which is very old. I'm willing to contribute $$ for the effort to fix this.

Also, your script installs a LOT of software before deciding that I'm on an unsupported platform. Couldn't that check be done up front so as to avoid installing source etc. if not used?

Thanks, William F. Dudley

Hi @wfdudley, can you post the output of sudo ./displaylink-debian.sh --debug please? That should give me the information needed to add the requested platfrom.

I'll look into your second question. It's a valid concern.

wfdudley commented 2 years ago

Thanks for the prompt reply.

Please find that debug output below.

The following message was also sent to stdout:

"./displaylink-debian.sh: line 369: /etc/init.d/displaylink.sh: No such file or directory cat: /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-displaylink.conf: No such file or directory"

I note that the script did NOT complain about unsupported version when I ran it this time.

Note that this is a fresh install of Devuan Chimaera on an Intel i7 machine.

Thanks, Bill Dudley

I can give you a login to a Devuan Chimaera machine with DisplayLink installed, and I can give you root access if you like, should you need a development machine.

This release has now been added to supported platforms in #736 Could you try to pull the latest changes and retry please?

wfdudley commented 2 years ago

Why is this completed? The script still fails to install the driver.

I did a git clone to get latest, and ran as root.

Result was this:

Preparing for install

Archive: DisplayLink_Ubuntu_5.6.1.zip inflating: 5.6.1/displaylink-driver-5.6.1-59.184.run inflating: 5.6.1/DisplayLink USB Graphics Software for Ubuntu 5.6.1-59.185-Release Notes.txt inflating: 5.6.1/__MACOSX/._DisplayLink USB Graphics Software for Ubuntu 5.6.1-59.185-Release Notes.txt chmod: cannot access '5.6.1/displaylink-driver-5.6.1.[0-9]-[0-9]*.run': No such file or directory

The file that the chmod is looking for is this: displaylink-driver-5.6.0-59.176.run

So I changed the chmod line (and the two following) to this: chmod +x $driver_dir/displaylink-driver-${version}[-.0-9].run ./$driver_dir/displaylink-driver-${version}[-.0-9].run --keep --noexec mv displaylink-driver-${version}[-.0-9]*/ $driver_dir/displaylink-driver-${version}

This solved the "chmod: cannot access" problem. Script is still failing:
