Default DisplayLink Won't Install on Ubuntu 17.10

Hi Folks,

Getting a strange issue with the latest versions of Ubuntu. Doesn't matter the distro or spin I'm using as the problem persists across the below version/spins/derivatives of Ubuntu.

Ubuntu 16.04.3 & 17.10
Ubuntu Mate 16.04.3 & 17.10
Ubuntu Budgie 16.04.3 & 17.10
Linux Mint (latest version)
Elementary OS (Loki)

I update the OS, install DKMS then go to run the setup script and this is the output for all the above distros:

Verifying archive integrity... All good.
Uncompressing DisplayLink Linux Driver 4.1.9 100%
DisplayLink Linux Software 4.1.9 install script called: install
Distribution discovered: Ubuntu 17.10

Installing x64-ubuntu-1604/DisplayLinkManager
Installing libraries

Adding udev rule for DisplayLink DL-3xxx/5xxx devices

Please read the FAQ

So obviously it's failing. Are there any logs that I can nab that might tell us why? If so how can I get them for you?

Thanks,

Balt
