Default Displaylink screen not working

Hi,

I'm having no luck getting the displaylink driver to work with Ubuntu 16.04. I previously had Ubuntu 14.04 installed, and it worked perfectly with that. Have attached the zip file with the information required. A

Any help would be massively appreciated.

Default Any thoughts?

Has anyone got any ideas on this one - would be really appreciated as really value the use of the extra screen.

The screen is an ASUS MB168B+. It turns on very briefly with the ASUS logo when I plug it in, but then just turns off. It's not detected as an additional screen in the 'Screen Display' section of settings.

I have the NVidia driver 367 installed, in case that makes a difference.

Anything I could try?

If you are using the closed source Nvidia GPU driver, DisplayLink indicates that will not work here -> http://support.displaylink.com/knowl...ubuntu-support

You will have to switch to the open source driver for the Nvidia GPU.
