Ubuntu Install Trouble

Hi,

I am having trouble getting my display link adapter up and running. The install appears to go smoothly but with no end result. I am able to view the display link when viewing connected usb devices. When I run the install I get the following:

tolandjl@Jack-Lenovo-Old:~/Downloads$ sudo ./displaylink-driver-1.3.52.run
[sudo] password for tolandjl:
Verifying archive integrity... All good.

I've noticed I am missing the last two lines in the "How to install..." page.

Starting DLM upstart job
displaylink start/running, process 3397

Any help appreciated. Relatively new with ubuntu.

Hey, I seem to have the same issue, here is my install log:

Code:

korri@korri-Inspiron-13-5368:~/Downloads$ sudo ./displaylink-driver-1.3.52.run

The device shows up in usb list:

Code:

korri@korri-Inspiron-13-5368:~/Downloads$ lsusb -d 17e9:

Bus 002 Device 005: ID 17e9:4301 DisplayLink 

korri@korri-Inspiron-13-5368:~/Downloads$

But the screen does not show up in display settings.

Not seeing the last two lines is normal in the recent versions of the driver and a recent distro - because they no longer use upstart but systemd for starting DisplayLinkManager.

Please attach logs - it would show if evdi kernel module is initialised, and if DisplayLinkManager can connect to it.

Thanks,
Michal

Display does not work

Hey,
I am having same problem. I am fairly new to linux, so I am not sure if I am doing everything correctly. Attached are my system logs - I am not sure how to check in logs, if the evdm was initialized properly.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!
Chirag.
