Ubuntu 17.10 with Targus USB3.0 and ThinkPad T470S
Hi,
I have fresh installed Ubuntu 17.10 on ThinkPad T470S, and I've already tried both workarounds suggested here http://support.displaylink.com/knowl...ticles/1181623. I've also tried other suggestions that I've found on this forum but nothing worked, and I still can't get my second monitor to work. DisplayLink is recognized on the USB bus zoran@zoran-ThinkPad-T470s:~$ lsusb -d 17e9: Bus 002 Device 006: ID 17e9:4306 DisplayLink zoran@zoran-ThinkPad-T470s:~$ zoran-ThinkPad-T470s_2017-12-07T21:59:08.568635.zip I hope you can help resolve this issue. Thanks, Zoran |

Are you running with secure boot on? In this case you'd have to sign the evdi kernel module yourself, or disable secure boot.
Cheers, Michal |

Hi Michal,
Thank you for your quick response. SecureBoot was turned on, but even after I turned it off, it doesn't work. At one point after computer restart, I got Ubuntu crashed due to the problem with DisplayLink. Please check attached screenshots. Screenshot from 2017-12-08 10-14-45.jpg Screenshot from 2017-12-08 10-16-39.jpg I also can login only on "Ubuntu Xorg" but not on "Ubuntu". I've tried uninstalling and installing again. Thanks, Zoran Last edited by jeremyco; 12-09-2017 at 05:49 PM. |

I've solved the issue by installing LinuxMint 18.3 instead of Ubuntu. It started to work immediately, and I have a picture on both my external monitors. The only issue I have now is a laggy mouse

Finally, after I installed Ubuntu 17.10 back again (though previous one was also fresh install) it started working without any workaround. I don't know why, but it looks like something was off, and having Ubuntu reinstalled have solved that. |

The big issue is the displaylink docks don't work with wayland (and I don't know when they will support wayland). |
