i've just upgraded my PC from Ubuntu 24.04 LTS to 24.04.01 and DisplayLink stopped working.
Driver was from Synaptic official APT repo, but now apt says it can't find candidate.
When I try to install standalone version I have a message:

Code:

sudo ./displaylink-driver-6.0.0-24.run                                                      1 ✘  
Verifying archive integrity...  100%   MD5 checksums are OK. All good.
Uncompressing DisplayLink Linux Driver 6.0.0  100%  
Distribution discovered: No LSB modules are available.
Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS
'evdi' Debian package appears to be installed.
This installer is incompatible with the packaged driver.

installed evdi: evdi/now 1.14.7-109 amd64 [installed,local]

How to proceed now ?

It happened that it was enough to install
evdi-dkms package and continue with displaylink standalone installer.

Another useful resource if you have problems with evdi https://www.reddit.com/r/pop_os/comm...mment/kd5uqyw/
