DisplayLinkManager terminate called after throwing an instance of 'dl::sys::Failure'

[erlon]

I'm trying by some days to install DisplayLink driver in Kubuntu 15.10 but without success. The errors are these:

Jan 27 16:41:20 sg1 systemd[1]: Starting DisplayLink Manager Service...
Jan 27 16:41:20 sg1 systemd[1]: Started DisplayLink Manager Service.
Jan 27 16:41:20 sg1 DisplayLinkManager[10662]: terminate called after throwing an instance of 'dl::sys::Failure'

Jan 27 16:41:25 sg1 systemd[1]: displaylink.service: Service hold-off time over, scheduling restart.
Jan 27 16:41:25 sg1 systemd[1]: Stopped DisplayLink Manager Service.

Following the instructions in this post -> http://www.displaylink.org/forum/showthread.php?t=64188 I'm sending the zip file after run the Linux Support Tool.

Looks like /root/.dl.xml is corrupted (perhaps empty?). Try removing it entirely and let the app recreate it from scratch.

Thanks,

I did this and apparently worked. Now I can see 2 providers on xrandr:

# xrandr --listproviders
Providers: number : 2
Provider 0: id: 0x48 cap: 0x9, Source Output, Sink Offload crtcs: 4 outputs: 5 associated providers: 1 name:Intel
Provider 1: id: 0x144 cap: 0x2, Sink Output crtcs: 1 outputs: 1 associated providers: 1 name:modesetting

But when I connect the second monitor in the dock, all screens turn black, and nothing happened after this. I will test more and put here the results.

Does this change anything?

xrandr --setprovideroutputsource 1 0

Thanks,
