EDIT: Just read the page at
https://support.displaylink.com/know...ticles/1181623 and realized that I'm being affected by that problem. I've tried both workarounds and neither were successful.
I recently ran a dist-upgrade and displaylink works, but whenever I try to open an application in gnome or in the unity launcher or anything, it will freeze my computer except for the cursor loading animation being glitched out.
I've attached the log file that was created while the monitor was plugged in and after the crash (after I held the power button down and restarted)
I also tried the steps provided by jabodk here:
https://support.displaylink.com/foru...l-your-devices which didn't change anything except I think it may have made it take a little longer to freeze my computer.
