DisplayLink 1.1.62 and Ubuntu 16.04 problem
Hi All
I'm running Ubuntu 16.04 and have installed sudo ./displaylink-driver-1.1.62.run When using System Settings > Screen Display, only my laptop monitor appears Output from the support tool attached. I've captured this output too: lsusb -d 17e9: Bus 002 Device 005: ID 17e9:436e DisplayLink Bus 002 Device 003: ID 17e9:436e DisplayLink ps -ef | grep display root 3060 1 0 13:14 ? 00:00:10 /usr/lib/displaylink/DisplayLinkManager Any help would be appreciated. Cheers, Tim |

Hi TIm,
Looks like we have the same problem... But as I apparently am too new to this forum I cannot download your attachment and look for similarities/differences of our issues. But what you briefly described sounds very familiar to me. To check if we actually have the same issue, does your dmesg also repeart "open /dev/fb0.... release /dev/fb0..." (or something like that, can't double check atm) over and over again? May I also ask what device you want to use? In my case it's the MB169B+ mobile USB monitor from Asus. ~Znert |

1.1.62 and Ubuntu 16.04
Hi Znert
This is what I see from dmesg: $ dmesg | grep /dev/ [ 3.692904] systemd[1]: Listening on Journal Socket (/dev/log). [ 3.695982] systemd[1]: Listening on /dev/initctl Compatibility Named Pipe. [ 4.034908] Adding 16596988k swap on /dev/sda3. Priority:-1 extents:1 across:16596988k SSFS I'm trying to get the output displayed on 2 acer K242HL monitors. Good luck with your issue - hopefully what works for me will help you too Cheers, Tim |

Looks like I am the only one experiencing this particular problem ^^

A few more things before I leave that might help an actual techy (sorry that I cannot help) figuring it out, are you using Nvidia graphics or something else? I figure you are using some kind of hub to connect those two monitors to your computer, as I don't think that you need the displaylink drivers to directly connect them. Which hub do you use? Might help narrowing it down. I also wish you the best of luck with finding a solution! ~Znert |
