I still can't download your installer. It states I do not have sufficient permissions. However, I was able to remodify the SYSTEMINITDAEMON=unknown entry on the refreshed --keep --noexec of the .run package, to SYSTEMINITDAEMON=systemd. This time when I installed, it successfully completes the install. However, after reboot, I still do not see my providers. I did start the displaylink service, however. This is a first.

Default systemctl -a

This may have something to do with it.

Code:
# systemctl -a
display-manager.service     not-found inactive   dead       display-manager.service
displaylink.service              loaded    activating auto-restart DisplayLink Manager Service

OK. Could you post the results of :
Code:
# systemctl status displaylink.service
# lsmod | grep evdi
# dmesg
Thx

PS : I place my installer into drive folder : https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5q...ew?usp=sharing

It's not really normal that you don't have an active display-manager service. What DM do you use ? LigthDM ? Gnome Display Manager ?

Thx

Default failed

I resolved my desktop issue, there wasn't one. It was still in default build. So uninstalled the displaylink stuff, verified, rebooted. I downloaded your installer from the google drive, followed instructions. Everything seemed to install fine. Rebooted. The system came up fine, but the displaylink.service wasn't started. I had to start it manually. It failed. This is the output.

Code:
# systemctl status displaylink.service
● displaylink.service - DisplayLink Manager Service
   Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/displaylink.service; static)
   Active: activating (auto-restart) (Result: signal) since Thu 2015-08-27 13:01:27 CDT; 1s ago

  Process: 3124 ExecStartPre=/sbin/modprobe evdi (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)

I do not have additional providers when I run xrandr --listproviders

While this service is not running, you will not have the new provider into xrandr...

The Displaylink Manager has been killed... The question is : why ?
Do you have log file in /var/log concerning Displaylink ?
Code:
# updatedb
# locate displaylink | grep log
What return the
Code:
# dmesg
# lsmod | grep udl
Thx

Since it's not running, your displaylink service will not run correctly...
You can try to use lighDM or another DM to test before resolve your KDE problem...
What have you fond to reinstall KDE ?

I did delete the service file as root. I completely uninstalled and rebooted and reinstalled many times. The result is always:

Code:
# systemctl status displaylink.service

The problem is not the displaylink.service but the display-manager.service

In KDE it should be KDM... You can maybe run
Code:
# dpkg-reconfigure kdm
I'm not sure about the name of the package so you can fond it with
Code:
# dpkg -l | grep -i KDM
Thx
