Ubuntu 18.04 / DisplayLink product detected but no screen display yet
Hi everyone.
I've bought a USB 3.0 to Dual HDMI Adapter (USB32HD2 built by Startech) and I've read on the Web that some users seem to have it working by installing the DisplayLink's Ubuntu driver. I've also installed this driver to my Ubuntu 18.04 system that is detecting the device correctly. But in spite of having plugged the HDMI cables to 2 monitors, there's nothing displayed or detected by these monitors. And Ubuntu doesn't detect additional screens. Here's the informations I've collected to diagnose this issue: Code:
$ sudo sh ./displaylink-driver-5.1.26.run So my first question before anything else is: Could someone here confirm that there's a DisplayLink component inside this USB32HD2 Startech device? Any information would be of great help :) |
That product doesn't use a DisplayLink chipset in it.

No? I thought so because I've found some peoples on the web who claim having solved their driver issue with a DisplayLink driver. Your answer confirms that it's a bad information and that it's definitely not possible to make such device work with Linux (I did a lot of unsuccessful researches).
Next time I want to buy one compatible with Linux I will know to which door I should knock. Thanks a lot for having taken the time to answer my question Captain Canada! |
