Hi,

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.
