At install time, running the .sh file gave me these errors:

But the game installed fine afterwards. I currently run with 2 monitors using twinview, main monitor is the right one at 1680x1050 and secondary is to the left at 1280x1024. When I run the game, it loads on my primary monitor the left half black and the right half showing 3/4 of the game screen.

I can change the resolution in game but this doesn't help. Changing the resolution and fullscreen=true/false line in ~/PenumbraCollection/Overture/config/default_settings.cfg doesn't do anything.

Could you try running in single monitor mode and see what happens?
You should not edit the default_settings.cfg file, that is the file the game uses to create the user settings.cfg file. I can't recall exactly where but in your home folder you should find a settings.cfg file in a Frictional or Penumbra .folder

It works fine when I disable twinview and go back to 1 monitor.

I looked around the Overture folder and couldn't find the user settings.cfg. I wanted to edit it manually to try the game not fullscreen to see if that would work with dual monitors. Or do I have to copy the default settings file and rename it to settings.cfg?

The settings file is here:
~/.frictionalgames/Penumbra/Overture/settings.cfg

There's an entry for resolution and fullscreen toggle, e.g.:
<Screen Width="1280" Height="960" FullScreen="true" Vsync="true" />
