DisplayLink on Linux Mint 17.3
Did anyone manage to install DisplayLink USB 3.0 on Linux Mint 17.3? It would be great if some instructions or installer file could be posted here. I've tried to follow different posts how to modify installer file, but nothing did work. Everything seems to work fine, but at the end my monitor connected to the laptop is not recognized.
Thanks |

The way I see it, the problem with the current installer is that no init daemon is defined in the installation script.
The way I did it (IIRC) was to install the file you downloaded like you normally would Code:
./displaylink-driver-1.0.335.run Code:
./displaylink-driver-1.0.335.run --keep --noexec Code:
SYSTEMINITDAEMON=upstart Code:
displaylink-installer.sh install Last edited by PlusMinus; 02-04-2016 at 09:41 AM. |

I've solved the issue and managed to make it work on LinuxMint 17.3.
The procedure is as PlusMinus explained with only difference that install parameter should not have -- in front of it. I was aware of this approach earlier and tried it many times, but the problem in my case was that unpacking the file did not unpack properly. Directory x64 was empty, and once I manage to extract it properly, everything went smoothly. |
