Default displaylink-driver.service failed because the control process exited with error code

Hi,

I've installed the latest DisplayLink driver using Synaptics APT Repository. I am using Zorin OS. When I try to start the service I am getting errors.

I am not very experienced with linux systems, and I did have some earlier issues trying to install older versions of the DisplayLink driver and Evdi, I'm not sure if that could be causing my issues now but I have ensured that any old versions of Evdi and displaylink have been removed to the best of my knowledge.

When I run dkms status:
evdi, 1.13.1, 5.15.0-69-generic, x86_64: installed

I've got a Dell D3100 hub and I am just trying to get dual monitors working. Thanks.

If you have not done so already, I would suggest reporting this issue to DisplayLink by following these steps --> https://support.displaylink.com/know...to-displaylink
