Default Ubuntu 20.04 kernel 5.11 - cannot install error

Hi. I am getting this error message below and wanted to know if anyone else is getting it. If anyone has a solution out there, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.


Verifying archive integrity... 100% All good.

it is saying that you have missing package.

Code:
sudo apt update
Code:
sudo apt install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
Code:
sudo reboot now
Enter the above codes and it will sync the database of all packages and then install the missing linux-headers package.
Install the DisplayLink Driver again and it should be installed without any issue.

Thank you for the reply. I tried that and it gave me a no installation candidate error.

Code:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
Package linux-headers-5.11.15-051115-generic is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'linux-headers-5.11.15-051115-generic' has no installation candidate
I went ahead and upgraded to 21.04 Hirsute Hippo along with having the 5.11 kernel as I saw that others had better success this way. Still nothing.

After upgradeing the OS, I did:

Code:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
same result.

Code:
apt-cache search linux-headers-
gives me the following:

Default Solved it

In looking at the list of linux headers I saw:

Code:
linux-headers-5.10.4-051004-generic - Linux kernel headers for version 5.10.4 on 64 bit x86 SMP
Since I had this version of the kernel in grub, I selected it and ran the displaylink executable. It installed successfully. I guess it needs the "-generic" part to install? Not sure. Anyway. Thanks for your help.
