I am unable to make a HP Zbook notebook recognize the displays attached through a Dell Docking Station D3100.

Steps taken:

install Ubuntu 14.04.03 LTS Workstation
sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get install dkms
download the installation script from http://www.displaylink.com/downloads/ubuntu/
unzipped it
sudo sh -x ./displaylink-driver-1.0.335.run
plug in the docking station
reboot
log in
System Settings -> Displays still only shows the Built-in Display.

The kernel is 3.19.0-49 -generic. (I have an earlier version of the DisplayLink driver working on a Dell Precision laptop with Ubuntu 14.04.1 and I've had to be picky about the kernel used; it s 3.16-51 there.)

Switching to the NVIDIA driver (which boosts resolution to 1920x1080) doesn't help.

I'm stuck now.

I will attach the ZIP-file produced by sudo ./DLSupportTool once I know how.
