Linux Mint 20 failed to install displaylink-driver-5.3.1.34
Hello,
I upgraded system to Linux Mint 20 and tried to install the latest displaylink-driver-5.3.1.34. Unfortunately the installation failed: Code:
x@y:~/Downloads$ sudo ./displaylink-driver-5.3.1.34.run Thanks in advance. Highbeta |
I was able to get past this issue on my Linux Mint 20 machine by installing the following:
Code:
sudo apt-get install libc6-dev |

I tried to double click on the Displaylink driver file, it ran and then stopped after about 15 minutes. I tried to run it in terminal, but I get "Command Not Found" here's the terminal results: sudo ./displaylink-driver-5.3.1.34.run sudo: ./displaylink-driver-5.3.1.34.run: command not found Why is everything in this OS so damned difficult? Does MS own double click and a software gets installed? Jeeez :mad: |
I have tried this solution and it did not work.
I completely installed displaylink. I completely installed xserver I rebooted I updated libc6-dev and was told by the system the latest version was already iunstalled I installed displaylink without any error. My 2 external displays are not seen. Lenovo Carbon X1 Thinkpad USB 3 dock Linux Mint 20 This configuration worked before my latest Linux update Anyone else have any suggestions? |
Hope this helps

Note below when I give commands, I type them in " marks, but you shouldn't use them. I only use them to help separate where the command begins and ends here. The terminal defaults to your home folder when you first open it up. My recommendation would be to use the command "ls" (stands for "list". it lists all the items in the folder that you are. This is the equivalent of doing "dir" in MS-DOS/Windows Command prompt). Move to the Downloads folder by typing "cd Downloads" (you can also type "cd Dow" and hit TAB to have it auto complete (something I use often). Do "ls" again to validate that the driver file is in the same folder you are in. If it's there try the run command again "sudo ./displaylink-driver-5.3.1.34.run" and it should work. If you get the same error as above about evdi, the 2nd comment fixed my issue with the command "sudo apt-get install libc6-dev" So in short: 1) "ls" to validate you're in the /home/ directory 2) "cd Desktop" to move to the /home/Desktop/ folder (where the .run file should be) 3) "ls" to validate the driver file is in there. 4) "sudo ./displaylink-driver-5.3.1.34.run" 5) if you get the evdi error, do "sudo apt-get install libc6-dev" I have been using Linux Distros for over 13 years. It definitely is an adjustment, but Linux MInt is actually pretty good and the closest I've seen to Windows. It takes a bit to get used to the nuances but I still prefer it (especially since you dont stuck with apps you can't remove like I.E. or Microsoft Edge :mad: ). If you have any questions, DM me here and I'm more than happy to help you with whatever questions you may have! :) |
thanks for you post, but I still have no success:
Code:
$ sudo apt-get install libc6-dev Code:
sudo ./displaylink-driver-5.3.1.34.run Any more ideas? |
