Error in perl execution

Running the script results in several errors of the form
syntax error at -e line 1, at EOF
Execution of -e aborted due to compilation errors.
which seem to be the result of the execution of perl code in the script. It looks to me, like there is some problem with the quotation marks in the perl commands.

Hi, as I can't reproduce this, could You give more info please? e.g. steps to reproduce, options used...
The complete output with verbose (option -v) could be helpful. Also, are you using the last version of this script?
frankrehfeld commented
The relevant part of the output is
xrand command to set this profile:
xrandr --output DP-2 --mode 1920x1200 --rate 59,950171 --pos 0x348 --rotate normal --reflect normal --scale x --output eDP-1 --mode 1920x1080 --rate 60,049471 --pos 3120x419 --rotate normal --reflect normal --scale x --output HDMI-1 --mode 1920x1200 --rate 59,950171 --pos 1920x0 --rotate right --reflect normal --scale x
syntax error at -e line 1, at EOF

So it looks like the scale part could be a problem. Will try the new released version now and report if the problem still occurs.

Error message has changed now. New version results in an awk error.

The new version is not intended to fix this issue, just to reduce the dependencies.
As I suspected and as you can see in your verbose output, the problem here is the scale x and y values are missing for some reason.
Could you please post the output of xfce4-display-settings -v and xfconf-query -vlc displays?
A fix would be to force that values if they are empty (you can try this fix from the dev branch), but first I would like to understand why they are not there. Maybe they were introduced in some later version of xfce4-display-settings(?) than what you have.
Thanks.

Please report bugs to <https://bugzilla.xfce.org/>.
Maybe the problem could be the usage of rotated screen.
KeyofBlueS commented
No, rotation is not the issue.
You are using xfce 4.14 while fractional scaling was introduced in 4.16.
While I could do a version check and skip check on scaling if xfce4-display-settings is <4.16, I prefer to force the default value for scale x and y (1,000000) if they are missing, that isn't harmful at all.
Could you test the fix from the dev branch please?
frankrehfeld commented
Error does not occur, when using the fix from dev branch.
KeyofBlueS commented
Ok, thanks for your contribution 👍
