You have to patch the kernel module
Hello Ubuntu Users,
DisplayLink can work with the newest kernel 5.9, but you have to patch the kernel module manually. The issue is discussed here: https://github.com/DisplayLink/evdi/issues/225 Get:
1. Unzip the DisplayLink package and extract the inner archive Code:
unzip 'DisplayLink USB Graphics Software for Ubuntu 5.3.1.zip' chmod +x displaylink-driver-5.3.1.34.run ./displaylink-driver-5.3.1.34.run --noexec --keep 2. Patch evdi-1.7.0 with #228 or clone directly Code:
tar xf v1.7.0.tar.gz pushd evdi-1.7.0 patch -p1 < ../228.patch popd or Code:
git clone https://github.com/DisplayLink/evdi.git evdi-1.7.0 pushd evdi-1.7.0 git fetch origin pull/228/head git checkout -b pr228 FETCH_HEAD popd 3. Replace evdi Code:
rm displaylink-driver-5.3.1.34/evdi.tar.gz pushd evdi-1.7.0 tar cf evdi.tar.gz * cp evdi.tar.gz ../displaylink-driver-5.3.1.34/ popd Code:
cd displaylink-driver-5.3.1.34 sudo ./displaylink-installer.sh install The patch has been sucessfully tested on Archlinux and openSUSE. |
