X Server Crash/Loop? Mint 18 Cinnamon (4.4.0-21-generic) with DisplayLink 1.1.68
TLDR; With the USB adapter connected and displaylink.service running the system crashes, does not crash if displaylink.service is not running.
Excessive blabbing below; New to linux, hence Mint. I have worked through quite a few things to get my laptop where I want it for productivity, but am stuck on getting my monitors wrapped up. Windows life... It's an Aorus X7v2 with dual GTX 860M which supports the bottom three screens + laptop display natively... and surprisingly out of the box with Mint 18 (Cinnamon). Onboard mini-DP, HDMI and VGA; everything working there. Other information: UEFI, secure-boot enabled, dual-boot W10 and Mint. The computer has three 120GB mSata and a 1TB HDD; Mint installed on sdc, W10 installed on sdb, sda is just storage and sdd is the third mSata I'm using to store VM images. Code:
lsblk NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT sda 8:0 0 931.5G 0 disk └─sda1 8:1 0 931.5G 0 part /mnt/DATA sdb 8:16 0 119.2G 0 disk ├─sdb1 8:17 0 450M 0 part ├─sdb2 8:18 0 99M 0 part /boot/efi ├─sdb3 8:19 0 16M 0 part └─sdb4 8:20 0 118.7G 0 part sdc 8:32 0 119.2G 0 disk ├─sdc1 8:33 0 104G 0 part / └─sdc2 8:34 0 15.3G 0 part [SWAP] sdd 8:48 0 119.2G 0 disk /mnt/VM Code:
lsusb | grep Display Bus 004 Device 003: ID 17e9:4301 DisplayLink I downloaded the 1.1.68 driver and installed it via (Unfortunately, I did not copy the output when this ran.); Code:
chmod +x displaylink-driver-1.1.62.run sudo ./displaylink-driver.1.1.62.run Could not get to CTRL-ALT-F1 (even though I wouldn't know what to do there), had to CTRL-ALT-DEL x2 to reboot and ended up with the same thing. Disconnected the USB adapter and rebooted using CTRL-ALT-DEL x2 again and was able to get into Mint. Running systemctl | grep display shows the following; Code:
systemctl | grep display displaylink.service ... loaded active running DisplayLink Manager Service |
