It must not return any error.

Finally these two command should display services as active
Code:
# systemctl status display-manager.service
# systemctl status displaylink.service
If all of these command are correct, your device should be correctly detected and usable.

;-)
[1] - The output of '# systemctl status display-manager.service' is fine::
● gdm.service - GNOME Display Manager
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/gdm.service; enabled)
Active: active (running) since Wed 2015-11-25 15:20:26 JST; 9min ago
Process: 760 ExecStartPre=/usr/share/gdm/generate-config (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)
Process: 750 ExecStartPre=/bin/sh -c [ "$(cat /etc/X11/default-display-manager 2>/dev/null)" = "/usr/sbin/gdm3" ] (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)

But,
[2] - The output of '# systemctl status displaylink.service' returns failure::
● displaylink.service - DisplayLink Manager Service
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/displaylink.service; enabled)
Active: activating (auto-restart) (Result: exit-code) since Wed 2015-11-25 15:30:17 JST; 1s ago
Process: 2538 ExecStart=/usr/lib/displaylink/DisplayLinkManager (code=exited, status=203/EXEC)
Process: 2536 ExecStartPre=/sbin/modprobe evdi (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)
Main PID: 2538 (code=exited, status=203/EXEC)

Even after I tried to activate the service with::
'# systemctl restart displaylink.service'

please, share any lights on how I may get around this issue.
