Ubuntu 22.10 drivers
 
DisplayLink drivers for Ubuntu 22.04 do not work with Ubuntu 22.10. Any ETA on new drivers that work w/Ubuntu 22.10?

I'm on Ubuntu 22.10 and the latest driver install is failing for me too. I have dkms installed. Here is the output:
Code:

I could install evdi 1.12.0 from apt without problem
Also installing the displaylink driver from the .run file without problem.

However, my displays are still not detected.

That's because they do not work w/Ubuntu 22.10--see OP.

Same here, can't get it to work either.

UPDATE.

I spent a few minutes taking a look at my syslog and found this:

Oct 28 09:35:04 khennig sh[11525]: modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'evdi': Key was rejected by service
Oct 28 09:35:04 khennig systemd[1]: displaylink-driver.service: Control process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE
Oct 28 09:35:04 khennig systemd[1]: displaylink-driver.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.
Oct 28 09:35:04 khennig systemd[1]: Failed to start DisplayLink Driver Service.

Did this:

// Not sure if these steps were really necessary

sudo displaylink-installer uninstall

Reboot

// not sure which version of evdi To uninstall... so just uninstalled both I had on the machine
sudo dkms remove evdi/1.11.0 --all -q
sudo dkms remove evdi/1.12.0+dfsg --all -q

sudo apt install --reinstall linux-headers-$(uname -r)

reinstall the displaylink driver and reboot.

---

Then disabled secureboot and the monitors hooked up to my displaylink hub are working again.

This does not seem to be the same problem the OP had.
Just wanted to let you know that it's possible to get the drivers to work on 22.10.

Hope you find a way to fix your issue.

Kind Regards.

PD: I installed version 5.6.1 of the drivers.

@kahennig, great news, thank you! Indeed, I prefer to keep secure boot enabled, but I might give your algorithm a try, just for kicks.

Also, afaik, DisplayLink drivers come with their own EVDI. Anyway, what does this line below do?:

Code:

sudo apt install --reinstall linux-headers-$(uname -r)
Why do you need it? Would I need this in a fresh Ubuntu install, untarnished by any previous (failed) DIsplayLink driver installation?

Is it that the only thing required to get DisplayLink drivers installed is to disable secure boot?

Aqualung 10-31-2022 07:47 PM

The bottom line is, once you disable secure boot, DisplayLink drivers should install just fine on 22.10. No other maneuver needed. Tried it myself, everything is awesome.
