Ubuntu 20.04 / DELL D6000 Dock - Random Disconnects
 
Hi All,

I'm currently using the DELL D6000 Dock with two 1080p monitors connected. The problem is that the dock randomly disconnects and reconnects a few seconds later. Has anybody had similar issues?

I'm also getting a segfault from the DisplayLink Manager (see log below)...

PS: This issue does not occur using Win 10 (Dual boot).

Below a few details about my setup:
Laptop: DELL XPS 13 (9360) - Intel Core i7 7500U, 8GB RAM (Latest BIOS etc)
Graphics: Mesa Intel® UHD Graphics 620 (KBL GT2)
Dock: DELL D6000 (2 x 1080p monitors via DisplayPort) (Latest firmware provided by DELL)
OS: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS on Wayland (Kernel 5.4.0-40 - UEFI)

Please let me know in case any other logs are required.

Thanks a lot in advance!
Viktor

Another addition to above:
I also noticed that once the machine is shutdown the D6000 dock doesn't go to standby. Even after disconnecting the USB-C cable the device remains active (indicated by the white power led). On Windows this turns orange...

Managed to solve the problem. After a fair of research I stumbled across the following Wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php...ocking_station

As it turned out Pulseaudio is sending the audio device to sleep which in turn brings the whole Dock down. In order to avoid this I had to comment the below module out and restart the machine.

Code:

### Automatically suspend sinks/sources that become idle for too long
# load-module module-suspend-on-idle

Dock has been working fine ever since. After having used the machine for a while I couldn't determine any adverse side effects on battery life.

I am experiencing the same with a Dell Inspiron 5502 laptop, Dell D6000 dock and Ubuntu 20.10.

The latest DisplayLink drivers are installed. I will disable the PulseAudio module per your instructions and test.

Resolving this issue would be such a relieve.

Issue seems resolved. Thank you!

This resolved the issue for me as well.
Ubuntu installed on a thinkpad, with a thinkpad dock.

This fixed it perfectly for me as well. Running ubuntu 20.04 on a dell laptop using a D6000 Dell dock! Thanks!
