DisplayLink driver installer for Debian and Ubuntu based Linux distributions.

displaylink-debian

DisplayLink driver installer for Debian and Ubuntu based Linux distributions: Debian, Ubuntu, Elementary OS, Mint, Kali, Deepin and many more! Full list of all supported platforms

Why do I need displaylink-debian?

DisplayLink releases its drivers only for Ubuntu xx.04 LTS. Hence if you run any other Ubuntu version or any other Linux distribution DisplayLink will not work as expected.

displaylink-debian allows seamless installation of the official DisplayLink drivers tailored to work for most of the Debian based Linux distributions regardless of which Linux kernel version (>4.15) you're using.

Installation

1. Download the repo, cd in the directory and run the shell script with sudo:

   git clone https://github.com/AdnanHodzic/displaylink-debian.git
   cd displaylink-debian
   sudo ./displaylink-debian.sh

2. Then consult the Post Install Guide to make sure everything works as intended.

Troubleshooting and debugging

Please note: Your external monitor/s may not work as expected unless you perform additional steps as described in the Post Installation Guide.

Before submitting a bug report in the issue tracker, please make sure to:

• read Troubleshooting most common issues.

displaylink-debian's Issues

Unit dlm.service entered failed state

Hello guys!

I am having problems to start the display link service. Everything went fine after installation but entered in a failed stated. I read somewhere here that UEFI maybe should be disabled to solve it. But I have no clue how to do it. Could anyone help me, please?
See log below.

Installation Issue Kali 2 (Missing Linux Headers)

So I'm a bit of a noob in these areas however very persistent. I am coming a little stuck here though on installation. The error I am getting:

Installing driver version: 1.2.65

DisplayLink Linux Software 1.2.65 install script called: install
Distribution discovered: Kali GNU/Linux Rolling
Unsatisfied dependencies. Missing component: Linux headers for running kernel, 4.8.0-kali2-amd64.
This is a fatal error, cannot install DisplayLink Linux Software.

Uname -a output: Linux kali 4.8.0-kali2-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.8.11-1kali1 (2016-12-08) x86_64 GNU/Linux
Is this error due to my noob ways, or is there something else going on here...? Any help would be massively appreciated!

Any suggestions about what I can do? If you need any more info please let me know.

elementary OS Loki LSB info incorrect

Loki recently changed to using elementary instead of elementary OS for its lsb_release -is because technically having a space in it is invalid. 😛

This means this script should be updated to account for that as well. I'm sorry. 😦

Installing D3000 dock on debian

Hi,

Thanks you for porting displaylink to debian.

I just got a D3000 USB dock station and try to make it work with my Dell Latitude 6430U running Debian unstable (xfce).

Before anything, when I plug this USB dock to my laptop, nothing is working (neither display nor simple usb ports).

I installed displaylink with your file: ./displaylink-debian.sh. The installation works well, without any error but, after reboot, I cannot see any improvement (when I plug a usb stick to my under power D3000 dock plug into my laptop, nothing happen...).

Displaylink seems to work however:

$ systemctl status displaylink.service
● displaylink.service - DisplayLink Manager Service
   Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/displaylink.service; enabled; vendor preset: e
   Active: active (running) since lun. 2016-05-30 23:27:34 CEST; 6min ago

but dmesg shows lot of errors related to the dock:

Do you have any ideas that could help me to install this dock (DELL D3000) to my dell Latitude 6430U using your displaylink port?

--listproviders sees two but cannot activate second screen

I created a new Issue as I am trying with another, different, displaylink adapter and seeing different, better :-) results.

The good news is that I am now seeing two providers, but I cannot seem to activate the second display. I think I may be missing a step?

It doesn't work. Can't get resolution. 16.04.

Some trouble with DL with Thinkpad T440s + debian 8.4 + UltraDock (3 outputscreens)

Hi,

Context

I currently try the BVU3500H to connect the 3rd screen with my laptop.

Currently I have two external screens, connect on DisplayPort through the Thinkpad Ultra Dock. To do that I firstly apply the following pach : https://cweiske.de/tagebuch/thinkpad-ultradock-screens.htm

So I recompile the kernel to have Linux 3.17 with MST and it works perfectly on my debian 8.4 (with KDE).

Then I installed the script from this repo, and I've needed to play with the option of xrandr to setup the third screen.

It works, but a problem still persist.

Setup

• Run the script from this repository to install dependencies
• Setup the screen as the extremity of one external screen (not between laptop and external screen, or on the left of the laptop cause it doesn't work). See below:

xrandr --setprovideroutputsource 1 0
xrandr --output DVI-1-0 --auto --right-of DP4

Note: I was not able to do the equivalent with the desktop manager of KDE (Display Configuration - System Settings)

Problem

On the last step of the setup, I've a segmentation fault error, but the screen still working. I attached the file from KDE.
kded4-20160527-194743.kcrash.txt

systemctl status dlm.service failure (2016-11-27 build)

I uninstalled then reinstalled with the new script.

FYI: There was an error during the script ln: failed to create symbolic link ‘/lib/modules/3.16.0-4-amd64/build/Kconfig’: because the link already existed. The install seemed to complete OK, but I re-removed the link manually, uninstalled and reinstalled and didn't see the error the second time.

After rebooting, checked the service and could not get it to start. Here's what I did:

The unit files have no installation config (WantedBy, RequiredBy, Also, Alias
settings in the [Install] section, and DefaultInstance for template units).
This means they are not meant to be enabled using systemctl.
Possible reasons for having this kind of units are:

1. A unit may be statically enabled by being symlinked from another unit's
   .wants/ or .requires/ directory.
2. A unit's purpose may be to act as a helper for some other unit which has
   a requirement dependency on it.
3. A unit may be started when needed via activation (socket, path, timer,
   D-Bus, udev, scripted systemctl call, ...).
4. In case of template units, the unit is meant to be enabled with some
   instance name specified.

Then i plug my adapter.

Using UEFI, however dlm.service is active (running) and does not crash on connecting the adapter.

USB screen turns on and mirror correctly but display is frozen

Hi,

Thanks a lot for the script, helped a lot! I am almost done making it work but probably have some config issues so any help would be much appreciated.

I have successfully installed dlm.service and can run it correctly on debian Jessie stretch with kernel 3.16.0-4. The USB monitor I am trying to set-up is a AOC E1759FWU and computer is an Intel NUC i7 with Iris 6100 graphic.

xrandr sees both monitors within providers and I can access config for both through xfce display GUI.
Upon running:
xrandr --setprovideroutputsource 1 0
the usb monitor succesfully turn on and mirror main screen but freeze and does not refresh afterward (like displaying a print screen of when it was connected).

Tried so far:

• connecting on USB 2 or 3 with or without second power USB
• update/upgrade and reboot
• rerun display Link script / uninstall and reinstall successfully
• updated intel graphic module
• restart dlm.service (update print screen but still no refresh)

sample output below

Crash in 16.05 on Kernel 4.4.02-generic

I was able to get your drivers running for kernel 4.4.02-generic Ubuntu. However, I always get into an infinite loop, race condition, starvation due to bad priority donation, or something on one of my screens. I will see if I can recreate the issue and get a core dump later. Perhaps a driver installed here is incompatible.

could not get screen information

Hello

I have install the driver but when i start gnome-control-center display

I can see :

Could not get screen information

I m stuck !

Help :)

Does not seem to work with Ubuntu 15.10 and 4.2.0-34

Thanks for making this.

I've ran in the same issue as installing the drivers downloaded from Displaylink

at the end of the installation it signals an error:

Job for displaylink.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status displaylink.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

if I run systemctl to check I have:

basically it's the same issue I got here without using your script:

DisplayLink/evdi#15

I suspect the newer driver does not contain the same code snippet you're attempting to patch: detect_distro() function etc.

do you happen to have an older copy of the drive? would you be so kind to handle a patched version of the drive you're currently using? I'd really appreciate that!

thanks

ln: failed to create symbolic link ‘/opt/displaylink/libstdc++.so.6’: No such file or directory

This is caused by

ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6 /opt/displaylink/libstdc++.so.6

when /opt/displaylink is not exist.

You should probably add

mkdir -p /opt/displaylink

before.

Displaylink is not work properly on Ubuntu 16.10

I have removed Displaylink drivers, upgraded my Ubuntu 16.04 installation from 16.04 to 16.10 and installed the drivers again.
Unfortunately they want work properly on 16.10. Only static images could used on external monitor.

Any thoughts?

could not insert 'evdi': Required key not available

I'm having this problem on ubuntu 16.04 final with displaylink.service not starting. Have tried uninstall/reinstall and reboot a few times. It seems evdi won't load:

# modprobe evdi

Debian 8.5 issues (process start, providers)

Note: My system is using Bumblebee (http://bumblebee-project.org/) to correctly support standby but I don't see why it could be the issue since any screen via HDMI port (including with HDMI to VGA adapter) just works

The installation went fine, I restarted the system and followed the post-installation guide.

The issues I'm having are (besides clearly the fact the 2nd external screen is not detected, not even if it's the only screen connected without the 1st one via HDMI):

1. status dlm.service # error on DisplayLinkManager process

● dlm.service - DisplayLink Manager Service

  Process: 12454 ExecStartPre=/sbin/modprobe evdi (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)
 Main PID: 12456 (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)

I also tried to restart (stop / start) the service, same result.

2. xrandr --listproviders # only 1 provider found

Providers: number : 1
Provider 0: id: 0x45 cap: 0xb, Source Output, Sink Output, Sink Offload crtcs: 3 outputs: 3 associated providers: 0 name:Intel

Same output, regardless the 1st screen is connected via HDMI or not

I didn't try the following instructions since these 2 already give issues.

Thanks in advance.

Cannot enable service - Ubuntu 16.10

Hello,
Service does not start on boot.
When trying to run
sudo systemctl enable dlm.service

Receive following message:

systemctl enable dlm.service

The unit files have no installation config (WantedBy, RequiredBy, Also, Alias
settings in the [Install] section, and DefaultInstance for template units).
This means they are not meant to be enabled using systemctl.
Possible reasons for having this kind of units are:

A unit may be statically enabled by being symlinked from another unit's
.wants/ or .requires/ directory.
A unit's purpose may be to act as a helper for some other unit which has
a requirement dependency on it.
A unit may be started when needed via activation (socket, path, timer,
D-Bus, udev, scripted systemctl call, ...).
In case of template units, the unit is meant to be enabled with some
instance name specified.

To fix, add an install section to /lib/systemd/system/dlm.service

Edge of Screen scrolls to next display

Thanks for this useful script. With it I was able to get up and running but I hit one issue: when I move my mouse cursor to the edge of my second display to go onto the DisplayLink powered third display, it scrolls my second display (as if I am scrolling horizontally) so as my cursor moves onto the third display, the display of my primary and secondary monitors has been shifted over. Have you ever experienced anything like this?

I'm running Gnome and have an Nvidia card powering two 1440p displays and a 1080p display connected to the DisplayLink.

I've played around with xrandr and arandr but nothing seems to help. Thoughts?

The build seems to fail with 4.8-rc3 kernel running on ubuntu 16.04. The last bits of logs running ./displaylink-debian.sh are:

Post installation guide is needed

Thanks for your displylink-debian script. The installation runs smoothly on my Debian Jessie laptop. However, the usb-LCD monitor still not work after executing the script.

My laptop is Dell Vostro 3350, which is with Intel+Radeon display output. Here's my post installation steps for the usb-LCD monitor:

• add "udl" to /etc/modules, to load udl kernel module for DisplayLink
• edit /etc/modprobe.d/fbdev-blacklist.conf

blacklist udlfb
blacklist radeon

• Refer to arhcLinux/DisplayLink for xrandr usage

xrandr --setprovideroutputsource 1 0 # add DisplayLink device, DVI-1-0
xrandr --output DVI-1-0 --auto --right-of LVDS1

The unit files have no installation config (WantedBy, RequiredBy, Also, Alias
settings in the [Install] section, and DefaultInstance for template units).
This means they are not meant to be enabled using systemctl.
Possible reasons for having this kind of units are:

1. A unit may be statically enabled by being symlinked from another unit's
   .wants/ or .requires/ directory.
2. A unit's purpose may be to act as a helper for some other unit which has
   a requirement dependency on it.
3. A unit may be started when needed via activation (socket, path, timer,
   D-Bus, udev, scripted systemctl call, ...).
4. In case of template units, the unit is meant to be enabled with some
   instance name specified.

--listproviders: interpreting results

Following, I start the service and query providers. The return says "2 associated providers" but I'm pretty sure there should be another line after Provider 0. I am using Debian Jessie.

I'd appreciate any advice on how to troubleshoot:

Crashing when starting X

Hi I used your script to install DisplayLink drivers, I had to make a little change to it:

diff --git a/displaylink-debian.sh b/displaylink-debian.sh
index 6cbb6ad..5aceb03 100755
--- a/displaylink-debian.sh
+++ b/displaylink-debian.sh

+sed -i "/Linux headers for running kernel/ s?^?//?" $driver_dir/displaylink-driver-${version}/displaylink-installer.sh

 # install
 echo -e "\nInstalling ... \n"

This change fixes a problem on the newest DisplayLink driver, where it fails saying I don't have the kernel headers.

Anyway, with that change done, the script installs everything with no errors or warnings, then I restarted the system and tried to start X:

xf86EnableIOPorts: failed to set IOPL for I/O (Operation not permitted)

For being able to start X I have to unload the evdi module (rmmod evdi), but then I can't get my display working anyway.

Another way for being able to start my X server is to start to whole system with the DIsplayLink device UNPLUGGED, this way I can startx with any problem, however as soon as I plug the device, the xorg crashes with the same error.

I use Debian (testing/unstable) with kernel 4.7.

Linux mint 18.1 - serena

Could you include this release also? :)

Linux Mint support

Is Linux Mint support possible? What would need to happen in the code to make it work? I'm willing to take a crack at in on my machine and do a pull-request if it works.

Thanks

Black Screens Only Shows Mouse Pointer

I'm running Debian Stretch with kernel 4.8.0-2-amd64. I'm using an ASUS HZ-1 Docking Station. After install dlm service starts up, xrandr sees the displays, but they only show back screens. I can move the mouse pointer onto the screen and see it's position but no background, or windows are displayed.

Kali Support mods & 1.1.68 release

Thank you for this script! I am able to triple monitor my setup because of it, which is awesome!

I made changes to support Kali kali-rolling release and it installed nicely on the HP Pavilion Gaming Laptop (15t-bc000) I recently purchased with the StarTech Universal USB 3.0 Docking Station - Dual Video I have attached...

I added the following block in the distro_check after #Debian and before the else statement -

# Kali
elif [ "$lsb" == "Kali" ];
then
if [ $codename == "kali-rolling" ];
then
echo -e "\nPlatform requirements satisfied, proceeding ...\n"
else
message
exit 1
fi

Release level 1.1.68, unfortunately labels some of the zip/run files with the old 1.1.62 release label, so I had to create a version_old value at the top of the script and change the version to the newer 1.1.68-

version=1.1.68
version_old=1.1.62

And modify a couple moves to rename the files appropriately so the script completed as needed -

after the unzip and before the chmod +x, I added:

mv $driver_dir/displaylink-driver-${version_old}.run $driver_dir/displaylink-driver-${version}.run

then I changed the following move command:

mv displaylink-driver-${version}/ $driver_dir/displaylink-driver-${version}

to:

mv displaylink-driver-${version_old}/ $driver_dir/displaylink-driver-${version}

I hope this is useful - cheers!

Useless sed commands

Can I ask, what is the purpose of these lines (for version=1.2.65)?

# modify displaylink-installer.sh
sed -i "s/SYSTEMINITDAEMON=unknown/SYSTEMINITDAEMON=$sysinitdaemon/g" $driver_dir/displaylink-driver-${version}/displaylink-installer.sh

The installer script still does not work with Debian.

systemctl status dlm.service failure

Hi Adnan,

I tried the new version of the script and make it much further.

There are no errors during the install, but I can't get the service to start after doing the reboot:

root@ux305:/home/mark# systemctl status dlm.service
● dlm.service - DisplayLink Manager Service

Displaylink Service Failed on Ubuntu 16.04

when i try to Install it i get following error:

Support for Debian GNU/Linux 8.6 (jessie)

I've been unable to get this to work on Debian GNU/Linux 8.6 (jessie).

My latest attempt includes this latest Git commit:

commit f5d451f
Author: Adnan Hodzic [email protected]
Date: Sun Nov 27 18:50:50 2016 +0100

added "enable dlm.service" by default

However, after uninstalling/installing, the following illustrates the latest issue:

$ ldd /opt/displaylink/DisplayLinkManager 
/opt/displaylink/DisplayLinkManager: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.21' not found (required by /opt/displaylink/DisplayLinkManager)

There is also this:

$ strings /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6 | grep GLIBCXX_3.4
GLIBCXX_3.4
GLIBCXX_3.4.1
GLIBCXX_3.4.2
GLIBCXX_3.4.3
GLIBCXX_3.4.4
GLIBCXX_3.4.5
GLIBCXX_3.4.6
GLIBCXX_3.4.7

GLIBCXX_3.4.16
GLIBCXX_3.4.17
GLIBCXX_3.4.18
GLIBCXX_3.4.19
GLIBCXX_3.4.20

I would really like to stay on (without deviating from) Debian Stable if possible.

Thanks.

Unit displaylink.service not found.

Hi,

I am trying to get a MB168B usb monitor to work with a t410 Thinkpad. I've tried installing and reinstalling, but still wind up with the following error:

:$ systemctl status displaylink.service
● displaylink.service
Loaded: not-found (Reason: No such file or directory)
Active: inactive (dead)
:$ systemctl start displaylink.service
Failed to start displaylink.service: Unit displaylink.service not found.

The only other odd thing I've noticed (installer worked fine) was when trying to uninstall I get the following error:

Removing evdi module rmmod: ERROR: Module evdi is in use

The uninstall, however, does complete.

EDIT: Did manage to remove the module for a full uninstall and reinstall - same problem

Any ideas? Many thanks!

Failed to start Load Kernel Modules on Debian8.6

Hi,

thank you so much for this awesome script!

I tried a Club3D CSV-2300D adapter in a shop before buying it and found your script here looking for a way to activate it. Club3D refers to the DisplayLink Ubuntu drivers so I thought your script should work for this USB-DVI-adapter as well.

In the end the script was just working fine until reboot. Unfortunately I got an error while rebooting:

[FAILED] Failed to start Load Kernel Modules.
See `systemctl status systemd-modules-load.service` for details.
[...] A start job is running for udev Wait for complete Device Initialization [...]

So I tried to activate dlm.service manually but got:

# systemctl start dlm.service
# systemctl status dlm.service
● dlm.service - DisplayLink Manager Service
   Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/dlm.service; static)
   Active: activating (auto-restart) (Result: exit-code) since Sun 2016-11-13 05:01:11 CET; 2s ago

 Main PID: 2093 (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)

Any ideas what I did wrong?

linux-headers is wrongly declared as missing and blocks installation

Hello,

I am unable to install display-link on my debian unstable.

I have a fatal error message complaining about linux-headers but the linux headers for my kernel are installed !

How can I fix that?
