Linux 5.9 and Display Link
 
Hi all

As per my earlier post here about getting Display Link drivers working on (K)Ubuntu 20.04 I have also been having no issues on the later 5.8.13 and 5.8.14 kernels but when updating to test the 5.9 kernel this morning I get nothing. Display Link doesn't even seem to start as I can't find the process running.

I haven't tried manually running the Display Link process etc yet as I have work to do but wanted to give others a heads up that it's probably best to stick on the >5.8.8 Kernels for now but if anyone has any tips or things for me to try on 5.9 later I'm happy to try.

You have to patch the kernel module
 
Hello Ubuntu Users,

DisplayLink can work with the newest kernel 5.9, but you have to patch the kernel module manually.
The issue is discussed here: https://github.com/DisplayLink/evdi/issues/225


Get:
1. Unzip the DisplayLink package and extract the inner archive

Code:

unzip 'DisplayLink USB Graphics Software for Ubuntu 5.3.1.zip'
chmod +x displaylink-driver-5.3.1.34.run
./displaylink-driver-5.3.1.34.run --noexec --keep


2. Patch evdi-1.7.0 with #228 or clone directly

Code:

tar xf v1.7.0.tar.gz
pushd evdi-1.7.0
patch -p1 < ../228.patch
popd


or

Code:

git clone https://github.com/DisplayLink/evdi.git evdi-1.7.0
pushd evdi-1.7.0
git fetch origin pull/228/head
git checkout -b pr228 FETCH_HEAD
popd


3. Replace evdi

Code:

rm displaylink-driver-5.3.1.34/evdi.tar.gz
pushd evdi-1.7.0
tar cf evdi.tar.gz *
cp evdi.tar.gz ../displaylink-driver-5.3.1.34/
popd

4. Install displaylink

Code:

cd displaylink-driver-5.3.1.34
sudo ./displaylink-installer.sh install

However, we did not get feedback from any reasonably skilled Ubuntu user that these instructions are complete for Ubuntu.

The patch has been sucessfully tested on Archlinux and openSUSE.

I just tested this and can confirm it to be working on Linux Mint 20 (Ubuntu 20.04 base) w/ Kernel 5.9.1.

Thanks a lot.

andy_g 10-20-2020 08:43 AM

Thanks for posting those instructions and I might try later but for now I'm just dropping back down to 5.8.X when I'm using DisplayLink as I'm worried, (as per some on that original thread) that this 5.9 patch will break 5.8.X :confused:

5.9 seems stable and I haven't hit any issues so far but haven't got hours to debug at the moment so might just stick on 5.8 until things are a bit more complete.

No need to worry in this regard. The voiced concerns in the original thread do have no factual grounds. If you look into the patch you will see all the modifications are wrapped in preprocessor macros to discriminate between kernel versions as it is already the case for API changes in previous kernels.

The way the evdi kernel module works: For every installed kernel version, DKMS compiles and installs a kernel module against the correct kernel headers.

You can switch between installed kernels and its respective kernel modules in your bootloader menu.

andy_g 10-20-2020 01:45 PM

Ok thanks for that follow up clarification - if I get a chance I will have a go.

DisplayPort not working

Hello there,

I hope this is still the valid topic for my question.

I am able to install the displaylink driver quite fine, however the Monitors connected thorugh Displayports refuse to work with this kernel.

I did a clean install of Pop OS 20.10.

I am using This Dock from i-tec

I did all these steps as instructed.
The only way the monitors can produce some output is by connecting them with HDMI.
As this dock has only one HDMI Port I can't work around this issue for now...

I use This Lenovo USB-C Dock frequently, too.
The Displays here are connect with displayports only, thus no display can be connected at all.

Both dockings were working quite fine till Kernel 5.7 ( haven't tested since then )

Logs have been attached

Update: Restarting the displaylink service appears to get the second monitor to run:

Code:


|12:44:33|crashdummy@pop-os:[~]> sudo systemctl restart displaylink-driver

Hello,

Following the patch steps work on Ubuntu 20.10 with distro's default kernel (5.8.0-26-generic)

Yes, Abutaha, this was working fantastically for me as well in 5.8... But there are issues with 5.9 as mentioned, which could be addressed more thoroughly by any reasonable maintenance guy as highlighted in the linked post that has brought us all here ;)

Since we're all here and not mentioning names. I mean, that would be unreasonable... Perhaps we can collectively be more conducive and indicate which DisplayLink build we're running, which kernel version, and which EVDI version too... If we can indicate what works and what doesn't too?

For me I've tried the instructions above on 5.9 under Ubuntu 20.10 (which also worked on 5.8.*) prior and have offered logs as well...

andy_g 11-30-2020 09:19 AM

Just wanted to say thanks for the detailed steps to get things working on 5.9.X as I finally did these today :cool:

With kernel 5.10 nearly here will this workaround continue to also work for 5.10 :confused:

Confirming 1.7* works on 5.10rc6 :D

https://github.com/DisplayLink/evdi/pull/237

andy_g 12-01-2020 08:21 AM

Thanks for confirming that this also works on 5.10.X

RobstaRobotard 12-01-2020 11:50 PM

Working on 5.9.10
 
With a lot of help from SicklCodes I've finally got my Displaylink working under 5.9.10...

I had previously followed the patch from post 2, but this did not appear to work... Among trying lots of different fixes, it seems that a patch from SickCodes' repo seemed to bring it all together...

git clone https://github.com/sickcodes/evdi.git
cd evdi
git checkout -f master
make
sudo make install

It would be great if this could be included with the current DisplayLink offering

It also seems as though the displaylink-driver.service was not starting automatically., but was found to be present from typing 'systemctl status display' and tapping tab twice (without hitting enter).

You can then test whether it will start with 'sudo systemctl start displaylink-driver.service'

This worked for me to bring my additional 2 displays (1xHDMI and 1xDVI) from my DisplayLink adapter... I also had the HDMI straight from my Ryzen 7 laptop (with Nvidia MX350) working in parallel with the DVI from the DisplayLink alongside the laptop screen...

I followed these commands in Ubuntu 20.04.01 and I had no problems until I tried to install the drivers and I got this:

Distribution discovered: Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS
Unsatisfied dependencies. Missing component: Linux headers for running kernel, 5.9.7-050907-generic.
This is a fatal error, cannot install DisplayLink Linux Software.

May the 5.9.7 kernel version to be too high?

No I am on 5.9.12 and all is working well. Try doing all the steps again with displaylink removed before hand maybe :confused:

andy_g 12-16-2020 08:45 AM

The new mainline 5.10 and 5.10.1 aren't working for me but I did notice some message when I installed these about EVDI so maybe I need to run the process again?

I've dropped back down to 5.9.X today as I have loads of work on.

You need to use evdi 1.7.2 See the announcement.

Just follow the steps from page one but use the 1.7.2 release rather than cloning/patching

As per January, 1st 2021, all changes have been pushed to branch v.1.7.x: #225.

The updated (simpler) instructions are the following:

1. Download the DisplayLink driver from [the official download page](https://www.displaylink.com/downloads/ubuntu). Then run the following commands:

Code:

    unzip 'DisplayLink USB Graphics Software for Ubuntu 5.3.1.zip'
    chmod +x displaylink-driver-5.3.1.34.run
    ./displaylink-driver-5.3.1.34.run --noexec --keep

2. Get the updated evdi version by typing:

Code:

    git clone https://github.com/DisplayLink/evdi.git
    cd evdi
    git checkout v1.7.x
    tar cf evdi.tar.gz *
    cp evdi.tar.gz ../displaylink-driver-5.3.1.34

3. Install displaylink:
Code:

    cd ../displaylink-driver-5.3.1.34
    sudo ./displaylink-installer.sh install

Tested on Ubuntu 20.04, kernel version 5.10.2 (-surface).
Hope that helps.

RobstaRobotard 01-04-2021 01:23 AM

Hope this helps....
 
I've put together a build script that I use already for my Ubuntu setup... Working for 5.9.16, and just installing 5.10.4 to test that too... But the results from above already speak for themselves... (Thank you bro :) )

Hopefully this can simplify the process...

It downloads the current DisplayLink, then updates the EVDI folder from the above instructions...

https://github.com/robotard/setup-ub...kdownloader.sh

[AS PER BELOW - I've updated my script to allow for newer DisplayLink updated to not be automatically be patched]

##IMPORTANT##
You may also need to run this to start the service after reboot:

sudo systemctl start displaylink-driver.service

Let me know if it helps :)

I could probably expand upon it to check whether the current Displaylink is above 5.3.1.34 and install that without the need for any patches, but that's on DisplayLink to fix their sh$t first...

RobstaRobotard 01-04-2021 03:24 AM

Please let me know if it works for you and always...

2. Installed doing exactly these steps and rebooted.
3. No changes for me. (As on video from my post, monitors are forced to be disabled whatever I did)

Is there a chance your ubuntu-setup repo is private? If you want to keep it that way, a gist could get the job done!

Ooh, not intentionally, but just a note that the EVDI one is broken again on 5.10.5...

Works fine on 5.10.4 though...

[EDIT]
The original EVDI one, not from my missing script (adding in a second)

Just tried this on Kubuntu 20.04.1 with kernel version 5.10.0 and got:

Code:

DisplayLink Linux Software 5.3.1.34 install script called: install
Distribution discovered: Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS
Unsatisfied dependencies. Missing component: Linux headers for running kernel, 5.10.0-051000-generic.

Trying to install kernel 5.10.2 now...

Different issue on 5.10.2: it seemed to install fine but couldn't find the evdi 1.7.2 binaries. Sadly I lost the log, will try again later.

andy_g 01-22-2021 07:49 AM

Hey all

Just to let you know everything is now working fine again on the latest 5.10.9 kernel for me after not working on 5.10.5 but working on 5..10.4 as per my earlier post.

Did you install normally or with the method from this thread?

If with the method: which evdi version did you use?

It works now!
 
Finally it worked with kernel 5.9.16 and with evdi 1.7.x on my Thinkpad T490!

Neither 5.8 or 5.10 worked at all with the same procedure, so I guesse trial and error was necessary :D

Anyone got it to work with 5.11.2 ??

I could do everything just fine until recently when I upgraded my kernel to 5.11.2

I can't even install evdi anymore...

Code:

DisplayLink Linux Software 5.3.1.34 install script called: install
Distribution discovered: Pop!_OS 20.10

Installing

[ Installing EVDI ]
[[ Installing EVDI DKMS module ]]

Creating symlink /var/lib/dkms/evdi/1.7.2/source ->
                /usr/src/evdi-1.7.2

DKMS: add completed.

Kernel preparation unnecessary for this kernel.  Skipping...

Building module:

Can at least install now
 
I was able to install it using the changes of this PR.
https://github.com/DisplayLink/evdi/pull/269

Code:

unzip 'DisplayLink*.zip'
chmod +x displaylink-driver-5.3.1.34.run
./displaylink-driver-5.3.1.34.run --noexec --keep

git clone --branch linux-5.11-ftbfs-fix https://github.com/piso77/evdi.git
cd evdi
tar cf evdi.tar.gz *
cp evdi.tar.gz ../displaylink-driver-5.3.1.34

cd ../displaylink-driver-5.3.1.34
sudo ./displaylink-installer.sh install

Displaylink yet not working....
evdi is installed and DisplayLinkManager running.
