Non-existant.

root@server7:~# echo $DISPLAY

root@server7:~#

Edit Derp -- I'm going through SSH, no forwarding, so that won't exist I think. Enabled X forwarding in my client, new result. It's my day off, I left the brain at my other desk.

root@server7:~# echo $DISPLAY
localhost:10.0

ok cool
with x forwarding are you still getting the same two errors?

Yes -- X is enabled in the client, but it's still not actually installed on the server, nor do I have the Mate desktop. Those two will always return errors for setups like mine. Same result in the script as in my previous post. For me I'm not terribly worried about it, just passed it along in case you're hate leaving loose ends like I do.. I'd guess not a whole lot of interest in something like this for a server install.. they make for boring screenshots.

Hi Haggis, finally got something working to test your script.

Seems to get a bit confused over Xubuntu:

*buntus carry over the /etc/debian_version

I downloaded it on the 29th December. I just rebuilt my Hyper-V server last night so I'll see if I can test later on.

[Haggis]

So a bit of a noob here.

How do I get this to work?

Mark the script as executable (chmod +x stats.sh) and then just do a ./stats.sh in a console.

[Haggis]

yeah as max says

open a terminal

go to the filder the script is in so for example

cd /home/haggis

do

chmod +x stats.sh

then do

./stats.sh

[bman]

Thanks.

This might sound stupid but when I CD my directory, says it's "No such file or directory"

I am pretty sure it's correct. I have it in my Documents folder /home/bman/Documents

What am I doing wrong?

Is the capitalization correct when you're typing it? *Nix is case sensitive, throws me off all the time. "documents" and "Documents" are two different directories as far as Linux is concerned where out of the box Windows won't care either way, easy mistake to make if you bounce back and forth a lot. Most file managers have a "Open terminal here" sort of context menu too if it helps any, depends on which file manager you're using.. some aren't as flexible/convenient as others.
