Hello,

Thank you for your patience.

As I have mentioned yesterday, we were working on a installation fix for Ubuntu 20.04.

Here it is: https://www.displaylink.com/downloads/file?id=1576

Please verify that version and if you would face any issues inform us.

Thank you very much for your cooperation!

Best regards,
Jakub

Many people are having performance issues with the new driver and can't use their display link devices. Are you planning to fix this issues or maybe you already have any solution?

thank you for the fast fixing. The installation of the new driver with

Code:

$ sudo LANG=C ./displaylink-driver-5.3.1.34.run

and

Code:

$ sudo ./displaylink-driver-5.3.1.34.run

is working fine.

Unfortunately the perfomance issue maintains. Do i miss something?

I am using a Lenovo Dock 2 USB-C with USB-A

I can confirm Tiberius's issue.

Good evening, the lag are very evident and even if imposed the effects of plasma with xrender are still visible. If I remove the dock everything goes back to normal. I am attaching the debug file.

In fact, on ubuntu 18.04 I had no problem with any lag.

It doesn't allow me to attach the file. I enclose it with connection via gdrive

Same here. Big lag's when using external screen only.

Confirming there is still an issue with the latest package for Ubuntu 20.04. I recently upgraded 20.04 and installed the latest DL package, displaylink-driver-5.3.1.34. Now if I close the lid, the UI lags 3-5 seconds on input (e.g. button click does nothing for 5 seconds). Opening the lid and the issue immediately goes away. Nothing from htop seems to indicate this is in anyway tied to CPU/memory load.

Hi Jakub,

could you please update us if your team is working on any fix for the lag issue and if there is any ETA on this?

Thank you

Hi Jakub,

I could not reply to the other thread, it was closed.

I have tried the fix and can confirm it is working. I can close my laptop lid and the system is behaving normal, e.g. no lag.

Regards
