Hi,

I know its still a it early, but back in times i also tried to install the display Link driver on a pre-release 16.04 LTS and it worked very well.

I allready updated most of our computers to ubuntu 18.04 LTS cause it will be the "future LTS" But had to find out that the Display-Link Dock wont work.

I did the whon installation process step-by-step link with 16.04 but it ends at:

notger@notger-FZ-G1ACBDXM3:~/displaylink$ sudo ./displaylink-driver-4.1.9.run
Verifying archive integrity... All good.

in attachment the output of the DLSupportTool:

Thanks for Support making this work.

PS.: id be very happy with any Beta-realease Driver too, cause now without Docking station functionality most Notebook are more-less useless

Hi,

Please try the 4.2 release. If it fails in similar way, please paste the make.log mentioned in the last line.

Thanks,
Michal

Whow that was Quick, i think i tried installing it on th 7th and the new driver got published on the 8th.

Until now 4.2 seems to work even with Bionic Beaver 18.04 !!!

Hi,

Having the same problem here under 18.04 LTS (beta), but even with 4.2 driver version my e1649FWU is not working (freeze with some colored lines).

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

I've also updated to the new ubuntu Bionic Beaver 18.04 LTS and my DA100 adapter no longer works.

Trying to re-install drivers yields to the same error reported before

ERROR (code 3): Failed to build evdi/4.1.9. Consult /var/lib/dkms/evdi/4.1.9/build/make.log for details

Any help appreciated,
m.
