I am having a challenge installing drivers for DisplayLink USB 2.0 VGA adapator on Kubuntu 14.04.5 32-bit. I have tried without success using DisplayLink USB Graphics Software for Ubuntu 1.4 or 1.3.54.

Upon running the install script for 1.4 it was advised:

Code:

Missing component: Kernel version 3.13.0-133-generic is too old. At least 3.14 is required.

After some googling, I found https://sysads.co.uk/2014/07/04/inst...ntu-14-04-lts/ and followed the directions to the letter.

Running `uname -r` yields `3.14.10-031410-generic`. Using either installation for the drivers listed above I still receive an unsatisfied dependency error:

Code:

#> sudo ./displaylink-driver-1.3.54.run
Verifying archive integrity... All good.
Uncompressing DisplayLink Linux Driver 1.3.54  100%
DisplayLink Linux Software 1.3.54 install script called: install
Distribution discovered: Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS
Unsatisfied dependencies. Missing component: Linux headers for running kernel, 3.14.10-031410-generic.
This is a fatal error, cannot install DisplayLink Linux Software.

Can someone please advise what to do next to install the drivers?
