Scibuntu Script Fails in Kubuntu Edgy

[lbthrice]

Hello all,

I am an Ubuntu newbie w/issue using the new scibuntu 4.0 beta script
I am running Kubuntu Edgy.

Here is what I do:
I run the script in a root terminal with

sh scibuntu

then BASH tells me

scibuntu: 39: function: not found
scibuntu: 43: Syntax error: "}" unexpected

here is the scibuntu script code that BASH is complaining about (starting with line 39 of the script and ending with line 43)

function logtouch {
DATE=`date +%y-%m-%d__%H_%M_%S`
LOG=$LOG$DATE
touch $LOG
}

Please helpabrutherout if you have a moment...thanks all!

You are executing it incorrectly. Try
sudo chmod a+x scibuntu040-beta
sudo ./scibuntu040-beta

Kleeman, thank you, the script is now currently at work downloading all the goodies :KS .

*Note: for anyone who stumbles on the post while trying to install package with scibuntu:

don't forget to aquire zenity
and all its dependencies with apt
prior to invokation of the scibuntu script.
