Have you uninstalled the previous version with
Code:
sudo displaylink-installer uninstall
first?

Cheers,

> running the uninstaller and having it miserably fail

How did it fail?

> still won't fix anything

Attach logs so we know what we're dealing with (so far we don't even know what you're connecting).

I've had enough and I've now banned DNB. If John can't behave professionally on a public forum, I don't have to tolerate that either! Nobody is paid to be insulted.

Thanks, that worked. I didn't notice those instructions anywhere.

Hi,

Sorry, I did not check this post. I open a new one since I still have the problem:



I was trying to reinstall the driver on my system after a distribution upgrade (ubuntu 15.10 -> 16.04.1).

I have the following WARNING and I guess I am stuck with the previous instalation:

DisplayLink$ sudo ./displaylink-driver-1.2.58.run
[sudo] password for ------:
Verifying archive integrity... All good.
Uncompressing DisplayLink Linux Driver 1.2.58 100%
DisplayLink Linux Software 1.2.58 install script called: install
Distribution discovered: Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS
WARNING: Version 1.0.68 of EVDI kernel module is already running.
Please reboot before attempting to re-install DisplayLink Linux Software.
Installation terminated.

Any idea on how I can remove the previous version? I tried to use the uninstall provided by this version, but it keep stating the same message.

Note: I did not uninstall the previous version with

sudo displaylink-installer uninstall

I don't have the file anywhere since I did the uninstall...

Thanks in advance

It seems that I was able to fix this myself.
I used the previous version available to perform the uninstall:

sudo ./displaylink-driver-1.0.335.run uninstall

Then reboot and install the latest version.

sudo ./displaylink-driver-1.2.58.run


So far so good.

Default sudo displaylink-installer uninstall

The command "sudo displaylink-installer uninstall" worked to enable installation. You should put it into the installation script with a prompt y/n
