YAY! Whoops, that was kinda dumb of me. Kudos to you though, thanks

Did you possibly try running the script as sudo user?

like so:

Code:

sudo ./dir/script.sh

or

Code:

cd /dir && sudo ./script.sh

or

Code:

sudo sh script.sh

see if that works.

Your output said something about xgl.

do some googling about elements and xgl. You might not be the only one with this problem.

Hope this helps!
