Default DisplayLink 4.2 and Mint 18.3

Hi,

after a fresh installation of Mint 18.3 on an external SSD I installed the displaylink driver 4.2. It does not work with an external screen. There is an erratic behaviour even after creating the two versions of the 20-displaylink.conf file. Attached is the 'displaylink' diagnostic file of my system.

Any help would be appreciated.

I have this same issue. The network works, but not my extra screens. They keep on being blank after installation of the driver.

I run linux mint 18.3 with displaylink driver 4.2.29

Unhappy Exact same issue

I also have the same issue.

Kernel 4.13.0-43-generic
Linux Mint 18.3 Sylvia
Displaylink driver 4.2.29
3005pr port replicator

When I attach a monitor to the DisplayPort or HDMI connector on 3005pr the other active screens plugged to the laptop are flashing for a second but nothing gets detected on the Display settings page and the newly attached screen says "no signal".

Code:
# lsusb -d 17e9:
Bus 002 Device 003: ID 17e9:430a DisplayLink HP Port Replicator (Composite Device)
The driver seems correctly installed and deamon running:
Code:
# ps auxwww | grep display
root      3230  0.2  0.1 2328928 17540 ?       Ssl  09:41   0:07 /opt/displaylink/DisplayLinkManager
When I attach the new monitor the syslog says:

Code:
May 24 10:30:22 fido kernel: [ 2931.543460] evdi: [D] evdi_painter_connect:573 (dev=2) Connected with ffff89fb0e6c1600

Any ideas?

Thank you.
