Trying to install DisplayLink-Ubuntu-1.0.138.zip with Linux 4.1
I'm trying to install DisplayLink-Ubuntu-1.0.138.zip in my Debian testing/amd64 box, which has a 4.1 kernel. It fails in what seems to be a pre-installation check, saying:
Code:
$ sudo ./displaylink-driver-1.0.138.run Any idea? |
I am having the same problem on Ubuntu 15.10 (kernel 4.2.0-11-generic).

Hi,
The kernel version should not be an issue preventing from SW install in this case. What you need are headers for your kernel version. Please install all dependant packages for your kernel version listed in this article: how-to-install-displaylink-software-on-ubuntu and then try to install again. Regards, Szymon |
Hi Szymon,
thanks for your advice. I tried to follow the guide. I was unable to install install the linux-generic-lts-utopic and xserver-xorg-lts-utopic packages (they were not found), but i guess this i not a problem since i have a sufficiently new kernel? I have the same problem with the matching signed kernel. The terminal output is: Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done E: Unable to locate package linux-signed-generic-lts-utopic Now, if i run the displaylink installer anyway as instructed i get the following terminal output: Verifying archive integrity... All good. Uncompressing DisplayLink Linux Driver 1.0.138 100% DisplayLink Linux Software 1.0.138 install script called: install Distribution discovered: Ubuntu Wily Werewolf (development branch) WARNING: Kernel version 4.2.0-11-generic is not supported.

I tried reinstalling without any luck. Any idea of what might be wrong? Thanks, emher |
Hi all,
I succeeded in making the driver works on Debian Jessie with a backported kernel: Code:
Linux mp-de-007 4.1.0-0.bpo.2-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.1.6-1~bpo8+1 (2015-09-09) x86_64 GNU/Linux
Code:
xrandr --listproviders Connect it to provider 0 Code:
xrandr --setprovideroutputsource 1 0 The following does not work: - unplug and plug again your monitor - when removing the displaylink, xrandr still display the provider 1, need a reboot to make it disappear. Regards, Tamm Buhez |
Hi tammbuhez,
I followed your instructions (just the two small edits in the installer script, not the provider stuff) and my external monitors are now working flawlessly again (Ubuntu 15.10, kernel 4.2.0-11-generic). You are my hero :D Cheers, emher |

Hi all,
after installing the new display link driver the CPU consumption has gone crazy. The DisplayLinkManager consistently uses 50% of my CPU. Does any of you have similar problems? http://peecee.dk/uploads/102015/Scre...8_08-32-09.png My CPU is an Intel® Core™ i7-3667U CPU @ 2.00GHz × 4. \emher |
Debian Jessie with a backported kernel
tammbuhez, or anyone else that can help.
I compiled successfully kernel 4.2.3 (intel i7) I get "bash: Linux: command not found" . I have no idea what to do with the "code" you posted (Linux mp-de-007 4.1.0-0.bpo.2-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.1.6-1~bpo8+1 (2015-09-09) x86_64 GNU/Linux) Thank you for the help. I have two DisplayLInks (USB 2.0 UGA). Can't wait to get them running here at work. |
This is not a code to type, this is the output of the comand "uname -a" showing my kernel version.

Debian (Jessie/Stretch/Sid) installer
For those of you interested, I made a DisplayLink driver installer for Debian (Jessie/Stretch/Sid)
It works regardless of your kernel version. displaylink-debian licence is GPLv3 and if you’d like to add any changes or to extend it to any other distribution then Debian, be my guest! |
Linux 4.2.0-19-generic black screen
1 Attachment(s)
Hello,
Thanks to tammbuhez for your tuto, and your driver for Debian. Unfortunately for me, I'm on Ubuntu Mate, and neither work. My AOC E2251Fwu external screen is detected (even its resolution)... but it remains blank. My system (kernel Linux 4.2.0-19-generic) even shows a 3rd screen: "FNM" in a black square (see screen print). What is that ? Any suggestion welcome (I'm a Linux beginner). Thx, Etienne (I submit here because I gather that 4.1 or 4.2 present similar issues with the original DL installer) |
What's the output of command
Code:
xrandr --listproviders |
xrandr --listproviders
etienne@etienne-Aspire-3820:~$ xrandr --listproviders
Providers: number : 5 Provider 0: id: 0x8f cap: 0x9, Source Output, Sink Offload crtcs: 3 outputs: 3 associated providers: 4 name:Intel Provider 1: id: 0x120 cap: 0x2, Sink Output crtcs: 1 outputs: 1 associated providers: 1 name:modesetting Provider 2: id: 0x68 cap: 0x2, Sink Output crtcs: 1 outputs: 1 associated providers: 1 name:modesetting Provider 3: id: 0x46 cap: 0x6, Sink Output, Source Offload crtcs: 4 outputs: 3 associated providers: 2 name:radeon Provider 4: id: 0x46 cap: 0x6, Sink Output, Source Offload crtcs: 4 outputs: 3 associated providers: 2 name:radeon |
What is the provider called radeon?
Could you try with the displaylink only? |
Radeon is the PC's graphics card apparently. How do I proceed to switch it off as you suggest ?
Thank you again for your help. |
what is the output of lscpi?
I'd like to understand your computer's hardware configuration. It seems you also have an Intel video card. What is your main video card? |
This is the result of the lscpi command if this helps :)

In the latest version of "displaylink-debian" I've also added support for Ubuntu >=15.04 to <=16.04
Please remove your current installation, reboot your system and then install it using displaylink-debian. |
can you give me the best command to purge remove displaylink driver? I would like to reinstall trying your driver. I can only use the external monitors with the open source ati driver. With the proprietary drivers I cant use them.... only black screens
|
It seems I am unable to edit my own posts. Here is the comman I used on ubuntu 15.10 to install the driver:
sudo /home/robert/Downloads/dl/displaylink-driver-1.0.335.run I am running cinamin. can you give me the correct command to completely remove that driver, and install yours within ubuntu? I hope your driver can fork with the propratary radeon/ati driver to allow betttewr hardware acceleration and less lag than the the opensource drivers. Thank you. |
If you used "displaylink-debian" to install it and if the driver dir is still there, you can do this by just running the script and selecting "uninstall".
Otherwise, get the version of driver you installed, extract the source, i.e: Code:
./displaylink-driver-1.0.138.run --keep --noexec |
Hello there fooctrl I tried your script but it didn't seem to work with Ubuntu 15.10
I believe that the driver recently changed and does no longer contain the function you're attempting to change in your script would you be so kind to provide an older version of the patched driver? I might give it a try -- thanks! for more details: https://github.com/AdnanHodzic/displ...ebian/issues/5 |
never mind, thanks, figured out that installation wasn't the issue
looks like I might have that intel libdrm conflict... but unable to solve it :( |
