Default DisplayLink 1.1.62 and Ubuntu 16.04 problem

Hi All

I'm running Ubuntu 16.04 and have installed sudo ./displaylink-driver-1.1.62.run

When using System Settings > Screen Display, only my laptop monitor appears
Output from the support tool attached.

I've captured this output too:
lsusb -d 17e9:
Bus 002 Device 005: ID 17e9:436e DisplayLink
Bus 002 Device 003: ID 17e9:436e DisplayLink

ps -ef | grep display
root 3060 1 0 13:14 ? 00:00:10 /usr/lib/displaylink/DisplayLinkManager

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers, Tim

Hi TIm,

Looks like we have the same problem... But as I apparently am too new to this forum I cannot download your attachment and look for similarities/differences of our issues.

But what you briefly described sounds very familiar to me.

To check if we actually have the same issue, does your dmesg also repeart
"open /dev/fb0....
release /dev/fb0..."
(or something like that, can't double check atm)
over and over again?

May I also ask what device you want to use? In my case it's the MB169B+ mobile USB monitor from Asus.

Hi Znert

This is what I see from dmesg:
$ dmesg | grep /dev/
[ 3.692904] systemd[1]: Listening on Journal Socket (/dev/log).
[ 3.695982] systemd[1]: Listening on /dev/initctl Compatibility Named Pipe.
[ 4.034908] Adding 16596988k swap on /dev/sda3. Priority:-1 extents:1 across:16596988k SSFS

I'm trying to get the output displayed on 2 acer K242HL monitors.

Good luck with your issue - hopefully what works for me will help you too

Cheers, Tim

Looks like I am the only one experiencing this particular problem ^^

I do hope so myself and will update here as soon as I find a solution.

A few more things before I leave that might help an actual techy (sorry that I cannot help) figuring it out, are you using Nvidia graphics or something else?
I figure you are using some kind of hub to connect those two monitors to your computer, as I don't think that you need the displaylink drivers to directly connect them. Which hub do you use?
Might help narrowing it down.

I also wish you the best of luck with finding a solution!
