Uninstall Result

I am posting a copy of my Terminal readout in case it helps with the resolution to the above issue.

With my new monitor setup I don't really give a Schiff if DL ever figures this out. It is nice to know that they do visit the Linux part of this forum. As the rest of the world slowly wakes up and ditches Microsoft, Apple and Google we should see better support for open source. It is just a matter of time, so I won't "float test" my adapter just yet.

Hello Displaylink Support, what's the next step to resolve this issue?

6 weeks after raising this issue....

Hello Displaylink Support, what is the next step to resolve this issue?

The drivers won't install or uninstall. Anyone who has used the .run file install method is stuck too.

How many times do I need to request help before DisplayLink helps ?
