Custom RPM created for Fedora and others

[enothen]

I modified and repackaged the Ubuntu installer in rpm format. Also added a udev rule so that the displaylink unit is started when the device is plugged in, and stopped when it's plugged out. It still uses dkms to keep it working after kernel updates.

So far I've tested it in Fedora 22, with kernels 4.1.4-200.fc22.x86_64 and 4.1.3-201.fc22.x86_64, and it works quite well. Download and step-by-step available:

Awesome, thanks so much for putting this together. I'll report any bugs if I find any.

Hiya,

Just undid my previous installation (http://www.displaylink.org/forum/showthread.php?t=64017) in favor of your more future proof and more efficient RPM.

I like that it auto-detects the USB module. However, I actually own two different usb modules. The one that you own (the 4 in 1) is the one I use when mobile, but I use this more complete docking station (http://accessories.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?c=us&l=en&sku=452-bbpg) when I'm at home and plugged into my monitor.

It seems your script doesn't detect the docking station as a displaylink device and thus doesn't start the driver when it's plugged in. As a workaround, right now, I've plugged in the 4 in 1 into the docking station, which ironically enough, works.

Can I help you provide the right info to update the script to detect the docking station properly?

Also completely unrelated to the driver, but I was wondering if you had any tips on how to get Fedora/Gnome to remember display arrangement settings after a reboot. It doesn't seem to remember that the monitor is set to the left of my laptop.

Thanks for all your help!

[enothen]

Yes, the rule works when you plug one into the other because the 4-in-1 is detected, no mather where on the usb tree. You have 2 issues then, first one is broadening the detection of DisplayLink devices, the second one issomething I haven't thought before: someone plugging two devices. Issue has to do with stopping the service only when the last device has been unplugged. I don't have two devices to test this, but I imagine my rule will stop the service when you unplug the first one, hence stopping a valid monitor from working.

Ideally, I would use "/bin/lsusb -d 17e9: 2>/dev/null || /bin/systemctl stop displaylink.service", which serves as validation of a remaining DisplayLink device plugged in, but udev does not allow for piped commands on RUN, so I would have to go with an external script, which is not what I like the most, but I understand it helps on a broader set of configurations.

For now, I've updated my rpm with a udev rule that detects devices based on vendor, which should work for you. I've also fixed an issue when upgrading the rpm, so please remove the current version, then install the new one (this version will manage upgrades ok). Try using one device, using both, then removing one, and let me know.

http://nothen.com.ar/resources/displaylink-1.0.68-2.x86_64.rpm

As of your other question, yes, I'm running into the same. Every time I plug a monitor I have to configure it. Don't know yet where this information is saved. I thought about leaving the DisplayLinkManager service running all the time, but that didn't work either.

Thanks,
Eric

I've tried this out on my setup, but it's not working.

Laptop: Lenovo ThinkPad W520
DisplayLink adapter: Lenovo ThinkPad USB 3.0 Dock
OS: Fedora 22
Kernel: 4.1.3-201.fc22.x86_64

The module is present for my kernel:
/lib/modules/4.1.5-200.fc22.x86_64/extra/evdi.ko

The kernel identifies the USB device OK:
kernel: usb 2-1.4.1: Manufacturer: DisplayLink

And the service gets started when I plug in the "dock":
● displaylink.service - DisplayLink Manager Service
Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/displaylink.service; static; vendor preset: disabled)

Aug 20 11:00:51 w520-pnickerson.portland.desknetinc.com systemd[1]: Started DisplayLink Manager Service.

This is a currently running process:
/usr/lib/displaylink/DisplayLinkManager

But no additional displays appear in the Fedora settings. And I'm not seeing any log messages about new displays being detected. Any idea where I can look for additional hints as to what's wrong?

dmesg does show some evdi entries, but I think they're normal:
[ 409.913339] evdi: module verification failed: signature and/or required key missing - tainting kernel
[ 409.914929] [ ] evdi_init Initialising logging on level 5

[enothen]

Did you plug a monitor on the hdmi or vga ports, or did you just plug the adapter? Asking because nothing shows up on the display configuration menu if I just plug the adapter. It only shows when I actually plug a display on the hdmi port of the adapter. Also make sure to install the rpm version (release 2) that I uploaded yesterday, as it handles a wider set of devices.

[pgn674]

I tried plugging the adapter into the USB 3.0 port on the laptop first, and then the DVI monitor cables into the adapter (and the monitors are powered and turned on). I've also tried plugging the monitors into the adapter first, and then the adapter into the laptop. And the adapter has external power and a power button, so I've tried having that on and off in various ways too.

I have been using your RPM version 1.0.68-2 from the beginning.

How much does this depend on the graphics driver being used to run the integrated display and the VGA and DisplayPort ports (not currently being used)? This laptop has NVIDIA Optimus hardware which does some kind of mixing of Intel integrated and NVIDIA card graphics, but I don't have Bumblebee installed to drive that, so it's disabled in the BIOS. I am using Nouveau as the graphics driver, as the NVIDIA binary blob has given me trouble.

[pgn674]

I am finding some other people using Ubuntu and Debian and having the same issues with the Lenovo ThinkPad USB 3.0 Dock: Everything seems to work fine, but no displays are detected.

I checked xrandr, and that doesn't show the displays either.

I have increased the DisplayLink encrypted logging level and then plugged in the dock. If anyone from DisplayLink would like to see the log files, let me know.

Yeah, it seems to be related to a specific hardware combination, which I don't have. As long as the module is compiled and loaded, and the service running when the dock is plugged, means the rpm is doing things right. Hopefully someone at DisplayLink can provide more help (or someone else with the same hardware)

[azothforgotten]

I had to sign the kernel mod with a private/public key pair to get it to run on my Lenovo because I dual boot with Windows 10 and it uses secure boot. I guess you could disable secure boot if that's easier.

[enothen]

Thanks for the info, good to know. I have secure boot disabled so didn't notice that was needed.

[jkudish]

@enothen sorry for the delayed reply. your latest rpm works perfectly for me, no more need to have 2 adapters daisy-chained.

thanks so much!

[enothen]

Excellent, I'm glad it works as it should.

Can I ask you (and anyone else giving a try to this rpm) please let me know the hardware and OS combination you are using (Adapter model, Laptop brand/model, OS version) so that I can have a list where this is working and not working? Might help others.

Thanks,
Eric

[enothen]

The rpm I created for Fedora has been updated with version 1.0.138, as released few days ago by Displaylink. Available here:

http://nothen.com.ar/resources/displaylink-1.0.138-1.x86_64.rpm

Driver is recompiled on the new version of evdi when the rpm is upgraded. Also note that when you plug your adapter for the first time after this upgrade, it may take some seconds to bring the display up, as a firmware upgrade has been included (or at least it looks that way for Dell's DA100 adapter).

Dell Inspiron 5737 (Intel & Radeon GPU)
Dell Docking Station D3000.
2 external Dell E2214H displays
Fedora 22 4.1.6-200.fc22.x86_64

At the beginning additional screens were black with no signal. Gnome settings > Displays didn't show them either. It started to work after a while. Unfortunately I don't know after what rpm's it started to work as I installed a lot of software after display link driver installation (1.0.68-2).

Now they need to be set up in Gnome Settings > Display every time I plug dock station in.

BTW: I installed your new release of 1.0.138-1 today - it works for me in the same way as previous release.

[jkudish]

My hardware combination is:

Dell XPS 13 Developer Edition, running Fedora 22
Dell UltraHD 4K USB 3.0 Docking Station (D3100)
Dell 27 Ultra HD 4K Monitor – P2715Q

I have also tested with Dell DA100 works perfectly.

Has anyone figured out how to get Fedora 22 to save the monitor arrangement?

[enothen]

Has anyone figured out how to get Fedora 22 to save the monitor arrangement?
Does that even work on Ubuntu? I thought the problem was on all Linux versions.

[xenith]

I have a good solid 2 minutes of wait-time for udev at boot with the dell 3100, anyone else seeing this?

Lately I can't quit X at all either, the devices aren't recognized. So no logging out - only full reboots. Every. time.

Fedora 22 to Fedora 23 upgraded

[xenith]

Enothen can you please update your RPM for F23 / 1.0.335

[enothen]

Awesome, didn't noticed the driver was updated this week. Yes, we'll do soon and post in here.

[enothen]

RPM has now been updated with driver version 1.0.335 released by DisplayLink on Dec 14th.

Altough release notes don't mention it, this release now remembers the position configured for the screen, so that it stays configured after unplugging - replugging. Other than that, there still are some minor issues with the mouse pointer flickering and with initial screen setup.

If you have an older version installed, simply issue:

sudo dnf update http://nothen.com.ar/resources/displaylink-1.0.335-1.x86_64.rpm

Regards,
Eric

[ColdFire]

Works like a charm and the 2min timeout at boot is gone as well -

Just wanted to say "Thank you very much" for your efforts -

Now F23 just needs to fix the Xorg-X-Server on multi-monitor setups - But with the downgraded X-Server
('' dnf --showduplicates --allowerasing --releasever=22 downgrade xorg-x11-server-Xorg '' ) it actually works like a charm on F23 for me ...

[enothen]

Awesome, thanks for letting me know. There was someone else having that 2min issue as well, so maybe the upgrade will take care of that. I didn't have that on my laptop.

Hi Eric,

Your site seems to be down at the moment, I keep getting server not found.

Is there a mirror of the RPMs?

Phil

[enothen]

I don't know if it was a blip or what, I see it's all up now and have downloaded the rpm. I do not have a mirror, but eventually I'll put this on copr.fedoraproject.org (I was just introduced to it recently).

HI Eric,

It is working now, just trying to install on my XPS13 9350 which arrived this morning.

I'm running into an error:

Looks like you're missing kernel-headers. Run "rpm -q kernel kernel-core kernel-devel kernel-headers | sort" and check that you have matching versions. I'm running the lastest on F24, so it looks like this:

# rpm -q kernel kernel-core kernel-devel kernel-headers | sort
kernel-4.2.8-300.fc23.x86_64

Hi Eric,

Thanks for the reply, I ended up uninstalling the kernel-headers and kernel devel and then re-installing, it works fine now.

All I have to do is figure out why the VGA port works but the HDMI port doesn't.

[firelink4]

Update: I followed Coldfire's suggestion earlier in this thread and downgraded xorg (dnf --showduplicates --allowerasing --releasever=22 downgrade xorg-x11-server-Xorg). Everything is now working again and the menus actually show up in the correct monitors this time.

Been using this RPM for about 3 weeks now with no issues other than the menus(right click, file, edit, etc etc) refusing to open up on the display-link monitors and having to reconfigure the monitor positions on boot.

Fedora had some upgrades earlier today and as of right now I can't seem to be able to get the ports on the dock to work. They're recognized and I can see them inside the "configure displays" section of gnome, but I only see static on either monitor. No change if I move the mouse to the displays. If I restart gnome, I get to see my background, but still no update if I move my mouse to the dock monitors. There's also artifacts on my main monitor wherever my cursor ends up.

Hey guys,

I downloaded and installed the latest version of this driver on my Fedora 24, but from time to time the screens connected to the docking station start flickering, this did not happen when I had Fedora 23 with the same driver.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

[lsarrat]

I am able to compile, install and get the service running, but when I do plug a monitor, nothing happen.
(was working previously with f23)
Was anybody successful with f24 4.6.3 and displaylink ?

Thx for your help

I had to sign the kernel mod with a private/public key pair to get it to run on my Lenovo because I dual boot with Windows 10 and it uses secure boot. I guess you could disable secure boot if that's easier.

Any information on how you sign the driver? I'd like to keep SecureBoot enabled. Thank in advance.

The evdi module included in this package does not support 4.7.x or greater series kernels. You will have to build evdi and libevdi from source, or wait for an updated package.

[MartinHerrman]

Thanks! After installing libdrm-devel I could compile the latest code which I downloaded from the GIT repository. I copied the module to the /lib/modules/kernel/misc directory and ran depmod. Finally I reinstalled the displaylink rpm.

Will test the result tomorrow at work!

[MartinHerrman]

Test, disconnect and reconnect the dock:

Any ideas?

I just made a version which works on the 4.7 kernel based on the 1.2 driver. check it out https://www.dropbox.com/s/7qifxdibgpbjt3f/displaylink-1.2.55-1.x86_64.rpm

Worked perfectly - many thanks for your efforts :)

Thanks for creating the RPM for Fedora.

This works like a charm. Just a few notes on my side on how I did it:


Remove all old DisplayLink installs -> dnf remove displaylink*
Reboot the system with having the DisplayLink disconnected from USB.
Install the above available RPM from the terminal
[**] su (to get full root access)
[**] rpm -i displaylinkXXXX.rpm
Reboot the system with having the DisplayLink disconnected from USB.
Login to your user but make sure you select "Gnome Desktop" from the gear icon before login.
Connect the DisplayLink USB and after a few seconds it should show a picture on the external monitors (2x Dell 27" on XPS15 in my case)


Works like a charm so far....

[MartinHerrman]

I just returned from my holiday trip and was very surprised to see that an RPM for Fedora/4.7 kernel is available. Many thanks!

(I am hitting a bug with performance, but there is a different thread on that subject)

[waterfoul]

We're working on trying to get these more accessable, for now here is an updated rpm https://github.com/waterfoul/displaylink-rpm/releases/download/test8/fedora-24-displaylink-1.2.64-1.x86_64.rpm

[waterfoul]

We've gotten automated builds going. Please checkout https://github.com/displaylink-rpm/displaylink-rpm/releases to get the rpms. Currently we are building centos 7, fedora 23, and fedora 24 packages. Feel free to contribute if you want other distros supported

[t3itguy]

Hey guys, I installed the latest rpm (v1.2.64) for Fedora 24. I'm on the latest kernel, kernel-4.7.9-200.fc24.x86_64. I'm using a new Dell XPS 13 Kaby Lake (9360). I've installed the driver, plugged in the dongle, started the service, and plugged in my monitor. The OS detects the display in Settings > Displays, but there is no video output. Any ideas?

Here's the dmesg output

[t3itguy]

Alright so apparently the VGA port is working, but the HDMI port is not. Any ideas?

Hey guys, I installed the latest rpm (v1.2.64) for Fedora 24. I'm on the latest kernel, kernel-4.7.9-200.fc24.x86_64. I'm using a new Dell XPS 13 Kaby Lake (9360). I've installed the driver, plugged in the dongle, started the service, and plugged in my monitor. The OS detects the display in Settings > Displays, but there is no video output. Any ideas?

Here's the dmesg output

Just wondering if anyone has tried this with RHEL7 and/or CentOS7 as of yet, as well as related feedback with such.

I have a StarTech.com "Triple Video Docking Station for Laptops (https://www.startech.com/Cards-Adapters/Laptop-docking-stations/triple-video-laptop-docking-station~USB3DOCKH2DP)" (P/N: USB3DOCKH2DP) which is working quite nicely under Ubuntu 16.04 and a 4.8.0-39 kernel so far on a System76 Lemur laptop. The RHEL7 is an Lenovo ThinkPad 450 for work.

Thanks in advance!:)
