You have to run following command prior to installing the newest driver:

Code:
sudo apt install build-essential dkms
You can also check the following article: https://support.displaylink.com/know...on-ubuntu-20-0

Please give that a try and let me know if it helped.

Best regards,
Katarzyna
Hi Katarzyna,

I noticed in the above reply you linked to the docs relating to the latest (Ubuntu 20) driver, however this thread relates to Ubuntu 18.04. Was that a typo, or are you suggesting that for Ubuntu 18.04 under kernel 5.4 we should be using the latest DisplayLink driver (which isn't listed as being compatible with 18.04)?

In case it's helpful, I'm also experiencing this issue after a reboot (so I assume some updates have now completed on restart), and am seeing the following error from the DisplayLink service:

Code:
Starting DisplayLink Driver Service...
modprobe: FATAL: Module evdi not found in directory /lib/modules/5.4.0-42-generic
