dsiplaylink for kernel 6 ?

Arnaud · 10-09-2022, 07:39 AM

Hello

displayLink works fine with Ubuntu 22.04, kernel 5.15 on my laptop, but I have some troubles with freezing after suspend.

It seems that this trouble disappears with kernel 6 but I could not make this driver work with this new version of the kernel.

I would be happy to know when and/how to use it on kernel 6 please.

Best regards
Arnaud

To be more precise, I've just discovered that the DiplayLink driver works with kernel 6 and my DELL USB-C hubs but not with my Belkin one.

Best regards

I was on Pop_OS without issue, but an update that happened in the last week ended with my Displaylink device not giving any output after a reboot (day end shut down & next day start)

Only thing I can guess is that Pop_OS updated the Kernel to 6.* and Display link driver will not install with issues reporting evdi & dkms (and combinations) not being written to kernel.

I saw on this forum that kernel 6 is not supported yet which is a bummer to kill my system, as I need 3 screens.

As there does not seem to be a roadmap or delivery date, I have gone back to 20.04 for the 5 Kernel & have my 3 screens.

Does anyone know when we can expect kernel 6 support or how to get the current driver to install on Pop_OS 22.04 LTS Nvidia

Same issue here, kernel 6.02 is not supported! Running PopOS as well, which recently upgraded to v6 kernel. I've applied the same workaround as @ice10001, rollback to v5[.9] kernel.

I've attached the install log from /var/log/displaylink, clearly showing the evdi dkms is failing.

upgrade to Kernel 6 broke my display-link too.
rolled back to old kernel for now.
any word from Synaptic about kernel 6 support?

Following up, probably it is the same issue as already addressed here: https://github.com/DisplayLink/evdi/issues/376

However, there's no official evdi release that includes this fix, nor does the ubuntu bundle (the .run pacakge) include it.

Hello, One question, it actually helps....
I have questions about which hub should I buy to use dual hdmi, could anyone tell me which is the right device?

I use PopOs.
I've seen people talking about this wavlink, but I don't think it's him:

Can someone confirm if this is the one, or what is the correct link?
Note: I'm in Europe.
