Default Build hangs on Ubuntu 18.10

(Yes, I did search the forum before asking. )

The build hangs when installing DisplayLink on my Ubuntu 18.10. This is what it looks like:

root@min1:tmp> ./displaylink-driver-5.1.26.run
Verifying archive integrity... 100% All good.
Uncompressing DisplayLink Linux Driver 5.1.26 100%
DisplayLink Linux Software 5.1.26 install script called: install
Distribution discovered: Ubuntu 18.10
Installing
Configuring EVDI DKMS module
Registering EVDI kernel module with DKMS
Building EVDI kernel module with DKMS


If I kill this and re-try the installation, it breezes through, but won't detect my DUEX USB screen.

SLSupportToll output in attachment.

Cheers,

Default you need to run it using sudo

IE :
sudo ./displaylink-driver-5.1.26.run

I ran the command as root, i.e. no sudo needed. Look at the prompt!


(Yes, I'm lazy. I often to

sudo bash/csh/ash/tcsh/whatever-shell

to become root for a while. Then I don't have to do sudo before each command.)

I've done it since sudo was introduced (mid 80s?) on my own Unix/Linux machines (and before that, I ran "su - root"). The only difference from running every single command with sudo, is that the commands I run aren't logged.

But this is not this thread's question.

I am using Lenovo Hybrid USB-C dock with two Dell monitors connected.

I had the same case, but after restarting my computer after second install I disabled "Secure Boot" from BIOS and both external monitors started working.
