Hopefully this can simplify the process...

It downloads the current DisplayLink, then updates the EVDI folder from the above instructions...

https://github.com/robotard/setup-ub...kdownloader.sh

You may also need to run this to start the service after reboot:

sudo systemctl start displaylink-driver.service

Let me know if it helps
I could probably expand upon it to check whether the current Displaylink is above 5.3.1.34 and install that without the need for any patches, but that's on DisplayLink to fix their sh$t first...

Hopefully updated the script for newer DisplayLink releases...

Please let me know if it works for you and always...

** Test with your own care**

[AS PER BELOW - I've updated my script to allow for newer DisplayLink updated to not be automatically be patched]

##IMPORTANT##

Thanks for this but I'm getting a 404 trying to download your script?

Tested on Ubuntu 20.04, kernel version 5.10.2 (-surface).
Hope that helps.
Yep that works perfect for me on 5.10.4 0 - thanks so much!

20.10 + 5.10.4 = Still does not work for me:
https://displaylink.org/forum/showthread.php?t=67495

Sympthoms are exactly the same (I see monitors plugged to the dock... but those all are forced disabled...).
Not a harware problem. (Still wroks fine in Windows, but stopped to work in Linux).

Yes.
1. De-installed displaylink completly and rebooted.
2. Installed doing exactly these steps and rebooted.
3. No changes for me. (As on video from my post, monitors are forced to be disabled whatever I did)

Is there a chance your ubuntu-setup repo is private? If you want to keep it that way, a gist could get the job done!

Ooh, not intentionally, but just a note that the EVDI one is broken again on 5.10.5...

Works fine on 5.10.4 though...

[EDIT]
The original EVDI one, not from my missing script (adding in a second)
