I'm gonna take a few guesses on what you're supposed to do since I feel like I've gotten an error like this a while ago. I'm going to guess you tried running

Code:

systemctl daemon-reload

If not try that first. If not try restarting your computer then try running

Code:

systemctl start dlm

then you can try

Code:

systemctl status dlm

to see if it actually worked.
If none of those worked, do

Code:

displaylink-installer uninstall

then restart, and try to run the installer again. I found that whenver you uninstall it, you have to restart if you want to reinstall it. However, whenever you install it, if it runs correctly, you shouldn't have to restart your computer.

Of course, you'll have to use sudo for most of those commands.
