Not sure if you're coming from Windows or another platform, but in the interest of trying to connect a few 'why' dots for you:
Code:
chmod +x /Desktop/DisplayLink Linux Support Tool 1.2.17
Two issues here:
- /Desktop would be the equivalent of saying C:\Desktop - which won't work. You should be using /home/maverick/Desktop or something equivalent (whatever your username is). Alternatively you can use ~/Desktop as a shortcut (~ is an alias for your home directory).
- If a file or folder name has spaces, you need to do something so the OS knows it's a space in the name and not just another parameter for the command you're giving it. You can either escape the spaces with a backslash or wrap the whole path in quotes.
This is a really good primer for learning about the command line, if you want to get a bit more comfortable:

TL;DR = try something like this:
Code:
chmod +x ~/Desktop/DisplayLink\ Linux\ Support\ Tool\ 1.2.17
