I can confirm that the dispalylink drivers fail in Ubuntu 20.10 (upgrading from 20.04). After upgrade the monitor connected to my displaylink adapter is black.

The issue seems to be fa failure in building evdi.

Verifying archive integrity... 100% All good.
Uncompressing DisplayLink Linux Driver 5.3.1.34 100%
DisplayLink Linux Software 5.3.1.34 install script called:

DKMS: add completed.

Kernel preparation unnecessary for this kernel. Skipping...

This is the output in the make.log
