DisplayLink, evdi 1.10.1, kernel 5.13.0-41-generic problem
I have exactly the same problem. :(:(
DisplayLink driver: 5.5 kernel: 5.13.0-41-generic evdi: 1.9.1 cannot be compiled with this kernel. ubuntu: 20.04.4 I tried to install evdi driver 1.10.1 but it supports kernel 5.15 minimum I installed installing kernel 5.15 on my ubuntu 20.4.4 I also tried older versions of DisplayLink driver that supported this kernel. EVDI driver cannot be compiled. Any solution to :(this problem? It seems it has been already a long time since this problem exists. |
Solution found!!!!
Guys, I found a beautiful solution that worked very well for me
1. Download evdi-dkms from here https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/evdi - I downloaded : evdi-dkms (1.9.0+dfsg-1) 2 Install it with Gdedi on your Ubuntu 3. Install the DisplayLink driver - https://www.synaptics.com/products/d...wnloads/ubuntu - I downloaded the next version: DisplayLink USB Graphics Software for Ubuntu Ubuntu 20.04 Release: 5.4.1 | Sep 6, 2021 4. Install it from the terminal as usual Be happy !!!! |
Update as of Oct 6 2022

sudo apt install evdi-dkms and then using Gdebi to install the .deb file. Computer booted automatically and everything worked afterwards. Just in case this also helps someone else :) |
Thanks

Don't. Or at least be careful.
Here the sudo apt install evdi-dkms did the install job and completely froze the machine. |
Another Solution
I looked into the preinst script of the evdi package and found it was simply checking if
Code:
/opt/displaylink/evdi.tar.gz Code:
Error: Another EVDI distribution detected |
