Unhappy Cannot install Asus MB168B USB monitor on Ubuntu 16.10 or 16.04

Hello, i have a problem to install this hardware on Ubuntu Mate 16.10. I did a fresh install of Ubuntu and i followed this guide : How To - Displaylink support but when i launch the .run installer 2 lines is missing :

Code:
renaud@N3150B-ITX-Re:~/Téléchargements/Asus mb168b$ sudo ./displaylink-driver-1.2.65.run 
[sudo] Mot de passe de renaud*:

Adding udev rule for DisplayLink DL-3xxx/5xxx devices
renaud@N3150B-ITX-Re:~/Téléchargements/Asus mb168b$
This 2 lines is present in the "How To" after the last line "Adding udev rule for DisplayLink DL-3xxx/5xxx devices" but is missing on my computer when i run it :

Code:
Starting DLM upstart job
displaylink start/running, process 3397
In addition when i do :

Code:
renaud@N3150B-ITX-Re:~/Téléchargements/Asus mb168b$ sudo systemctl status dlm.service
● dlm.service - DisplayLink Manager Service
   Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/dlm.service; static; vendor preset: enabled)
   Active: inactive (dead)
renaud@N3150B-ITX-Re:~/Téléchargements/Asus mb168b$
so if i do :

Code:
renaud@N3150B-ITX-Re:~/Téléchargements/Asus mb168b$ sudo systemctl start dlm.service
the service is started :

Code:
renaud@N3150B-ITX-Re:~/Téléchargements/Asus mb168b$ sudo systemctl status dlm.service
● dlm.service - DisplayLink Manager Service
   Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/dlm.service; static; vendor preset: enabled)

renaud@N3150B-ITX-Re:~/Téléchargements/Asus mb168b$
but the monitor do not work and i can't see it in "lsusb" and in "dmesg". The DisplayLink Manager Service is again inactive (dead) if i reboot the computer. I also tried the procedure on the same computer on Ubuntu MATE 16.04 and i have exactly the same problem with the same installation .

Thank you for help.
