Default Installed, but now showing. nVidia main gpu ubuntu 16.10

Hi,

I have for some days now tried to get my HP 3005pr USB3.0 to work with my laptop.

The laptop has a nvidia 1070 gpu and I have tried with both running nvidia nouveau and nvidia 378.13 drivers.

I have attached my latest suppor tool zip.

xrandr sees both devices:
Code:
$ xrandr --listproviders
Providers: number : 2
Provider 0: id: 0x1b9 cap: 0x1, Source Output crtcs: 4 outputs: 6 associated providers: 0 name:NVIDIA-0
Provider 1: id: 0x213 cap: 0x2, Sink Output crtcs: 1 outputs: 1 associated providers: 0 name:modesetting
xrandr --setprovideroutputsource 1 0 - Do not seem to to anything other than making another provicder?
Code:
$ xrandr --setprovideroutputsource 1 0
$ xrandr --listproviders
Providers: number : 3
Provider 0: id: 0x1b9 cap: 0x1, Source Output crtcs: 4 outputs: 6 associated providers: 1 name:NVIDIA-0
Provider 1: id: 0x213 cap: 0x2, Sink Output crtcs: 1 outputs: 1 associated providers: 1 name:modesetting
Provider 2: id: 0x213 cap: 0x2, Sink Output crtcs: 1 outputs: 1 associated providers: 1 name:modesetting
$ xrandr --setprovideroutputsource 2 0
$ xrandr --listproviders
Providers: number : 3
Provider 0: id: 0x1b9 cap: 0x1, Source Output crtcs: 4 outputs: 6 associated providers: 1 name:NVIDIA-0
Provider 1: id: 0x213 cap: 0x2, Sink Output crtcs: 1 outputs: 1 associated providers: 1 name:modesetting
Provider 2: id: 0x213 cap: 0x2, Sink Output crtcs: 1 outputs: 1 associated providers: 1 name:modesetting
If I connect the 2nd monitor to the built-in mini-displayport on the computer, the screen lits up, but I need the two extra ports from the displaylink adapter to get in total 3 large monitors.

If I boot to windows10, all monitors starts ups, so the device itself works fine.

Any tips to what I could try, or even better. Any pointers to get this to work

Just a little follow up... I installed, Ubuntu 16.04.02 LTS on the same laptop, and then installed displaylink. Same results there.
(And a new lesson learned in recovering grub boot with efi and luks).

Another follow up...

I strongly suspect the problem being some where between the chair and the keyboard...

/var/log/displaylink have two edid files, and they match make/model of the two monitors that I try to bring to life via the displaylink adapter.

Will fidle around abit... Still, if any could point me in the right direction.... Thank you in advance

You just need to do the add providers once.

Then if you just run "xrandr", the output should appear named like "DVI-I-I" or something similar.
Then you can just use xrandr, arandr or any other display tool to set it up.

Thank you! Think I've been to many rounds around the block.
This brought up one of the displays, (the display port, the one via HDMI where black), but I now struggle with the 1 fps stuttering, and might be related... Compiz crached on me, resulting in a reboot. (restart of lightdm did not correct the error).

One step closer though!

Default Solved: Installed, but now showing. nVidia main gpu ubuntu 16.10

Tagging this case as solved.

Edit: Unable to change the main title to solved.
