Default DisplayLink doesn't work on Linux 21.10

Hi all

I upgraded to Ubuntu 21.10

DisplayLinks works with Linux kernel 5.8.0-38, but not with 5.13.0-20.

If I try modprobe evdi, I get this answer
sudo modprobe evdi
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'evdi': Exec format error
Additional information

Linux 5.13.0-20-generic #20-Ubuntu SMP Fri Oct 15 14:21:35 UTC 2021 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I attached log file in zip format.

Does anyone tell me what happens?

Thanks in advance!!

Works fine for me on Ubuntu 21.10 and using the latest driver from the download page. Did you try complete removal and fresh installation?

Code:
lsmod | grep evdi
evdi                   61440  5
drm_kms_helper        262144  2 evdi,i915
syscopyarea            16384  2 drm_kms_helper,evdi
sysfillrect            16384  2 drm_kms_helper,evdi
sysimgblt              16384  2 drm_kms_helper,evdi
drm                   561152  20 drm_kms_helper,evdi,i915

I did

Code:
sudo displaylink-installer uninstall
and reinstalled again with

Code:
sudo ./displaylink-driver-5.4.1-55.174.run
but it fails again...

I don't know what to do...

IS there a workaround for that ?

Smile Update from Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS kernel 5.4.0-91 to kernel 5.4.0-94

Recently I updated Ubuntu 20.04 LTS to kernel 5.4.0-94 and my displaylink enabled DELL D6000 dock stopped functioning (works fine under windows so no hardware failure).

When I start Ubuntu 20.04 LTS under kernel 5.4.0-91 everything works fine.

I informed both DELL and Displaylink, but this will probably get lost in their organisation since I had to contact sales and press relations respectively.

Tested both
Release: 5.5 Beta | Dec 22, 2021
Release: 5.4.1 | Sep 6, 2021
https://www.synaptics.com/products/d...wnloads/ubuntu

Which are the latest drivers attow.

If someone managed to update the drivers or contact Synaptic to update their drivers please let me know.
