[solved] stops after 'Adding udev rule'

It's not corrupted, it's a self-extracting shell "archive" with installer logic created with makeself.

You can

export SYSTEMINITDAEMON=upstart

before you run the installer, then you wouldn't have to modify the script at all I think.

for someone who only knows Python and saying I even know that is a stretch, this doesn't help at all. for one, my install.sh script doesnt have the part of that if statement that you all are talking about pulling outside the loop that I've been able to find using sudo pico to open the file.
additionally, what do you mean with this comment about the "export SYSTEMINITDAEMON=upstart" before running the installer and avoid the need to alter the script at all? regardless of where I've cd'd into on my computer, I can't for the life of me get anything but an error using that code snippet, if used alone or in conjunction with running any of the .sh files in an attempt to install.
Could you please be more specific? I just need to get my second monitor working so I can actually be effective in my research, and I haven't been able to since ubuntu updated frOm 18.04.1 to 18.04.2.
