Trying to install DisplayLink-Ubuntu-1.0.138.zip with Linux 4.1
I'm trying to install DisplayLink-Ubuntu-1.0.138.zip in my Debian testing/amd64 box, which has a 4.1 kernel. It fails in what seems to be a pre-installation check, saying:
Code:
$ sudo ./displaylink-driver-1.0.138.run [sudo] password for jgb: Verifying archive integrity... All good. Uncompressing DisplayLink Linux Driver 1.0.138 100% DisplayLink Linux Software 1.0.138 install script called: install Distribution discovered: Debian GNU/Linux testing (stretch) WARNING: Kernel version 4.1.0-2-amd64 is not supported. Highest supported version is 3.19. Unsatisfied dependencies. Missing component: Linux headers for running kernel, 4.1.0-2-amd64. This is a fatal error, cannot install DisplayLink Linux Software Any idea? Last edited by jgbarah; 09-29-2015 at 10:31 AM. |

Hi,
The kernel version should not be an issue preventing from SW install in this case. What you need are headers for your kernel version. Please install all dependant packages for your kernel version listed in this article: how-to-install-displaylink-software-on-ubuntu and then try to install again. Regards, Szymon |

Hi Szymon,
thanks for your advice. I tried to follow the guide. I was unable to install install the linux-generic-lts-utopic and xserver-xorg-lts-utopic packages (they were not found), but i guess this i not a problem since i have a sufficiently new kernel? I have the same problem with the matching signed kernel. The terminal output is: Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done E: Unable to locate package linux-signed-generic-lts-utopic Now, if i run the displaylink installer anyway as instructed i get the following terminal output: Verifying archive integrity... All good. Uncompressing DisplayLink Linux Driver 1.0.138 100% DisplayLink Linux Software 1.0.138 install script called: install Distribution discovered: Ubuntu Wily Werewolf (development branch) WARNING: Kernel version 4.2.0-11-generic is not supported. Highest supported version is 3.19.

I tried reinstalling without any luck. Any idea of what might be wrong? Thanks, emher |

Hi all,
I succeeded in making the driver works on Debian Jessie with a backported kernel: Code:
Linux mp-de-007 4.1.0-0.bpo.2-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.1.6-1~bpo8+1 (2015-09-09) x86_64 GNU/Linux
Code:
xrandr --listproviders Providers: number : 2 Provider 0: id: 0x47 cap: 0xb, Source Output, Sink Output, Sink Offload crtcs: 4 outputs: 4 associated providers: 0 name:Intel Provider 1: id: 0x13c cap: 0x2, Sink Output crtcs: 1 outputs: 1 associated providers: 0 name:modesetting Connect it to provider 0 Code:
xrandr --setprovideroutputsource 1 0 The following does not work: - unplug and plug again your monitor - when removing the displaylink, xrandr still display the provider 1, need a reboot to make it disappear. Regards, Tamm Buhez Last edited by tammbuhez; 10-13-2015 at 07:32 AM. |

Hi tammbuhez,
I followed your instructions (just the two small edits in the installer script, not the provider stuff) and my external monitors are now working flawlessly again (Ubuntu 15.10, kernel 4.2.0-11-generic). You are my hero Cheers, emher |

Hi all,
after installing the new display link driver the CPU consumption has gone crazy. The DisplayLinkManager consistently uses 50% of my CPU. Does any of you have similar problems? My CPU is an Intel® Core™ i7-3667U CPU @ 2.00GHz × 4. \emher |

Debian Jessie with a backported kernel
tammbuhez, or anyone else that can help.
I compiled successfully kernel 4.2.3 (intel i7) I get "bash: Linux: command not found" . I have no idea what to do with the "code" you posted (Linux mp-de-007 4.1.0-0.bpo.2-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.1.6-1~bpo8+1 (2015-09-09) x86_64 GNU/Linux) Thank you for the help. I have two DisplayLInks (USB 2.0 UGA). Can't wait to get them running here at work. |

This is not a code to type, this is the output of the comand "uname -a" showing my kernel version.
