How to install DisplayLink driver on ubuntu 24.04.01 LTS ?

[lucass]

i've just upgraded my PC from Ubuntu 24.04 LTS to 24.04.01 and DisplayLink stopped working.
Driver was from Synaptic official APT repo, but now apt says it can't find candidate.
When I try to install standalone version I have a message:
sudo ./displaylink-driver-6.0.0-24.run  1 ✘ 
Verifying archive integrity... 100% MD5 checksums are OK. All good.
Uncompressing DisplayLink Linux Driver 6.0.0 100%
Distribution discovered: No LSB modules are available.
Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS
'evdi' Debian package appears to be installed.
This installer is incompatible with the packaged driver.


installed evdi: evdi/now 1.14.7-109 amd64 [installed,local]

How to proceed now ?

It happened that it was enough to install
evdi-dkms package and continue with displaylink standalone installer.

Another useful resource if you have problems with evdi https://www.reddit.com/r/pop_os/comments/18hbbf7/comment/kd5uqyw/

Hello

I am trying to install DisplayLink for the first time on Ubuntu 24.04.1 with the stand-alone installer, but I always get this error message:

steph@steph-l141mu:~/Downloads/DisplayLink USB Graphics Software for Ubuntu6.1-EXE$ sudo ./displaylink-driver-6.1.0-17.run
[sudo] password for steph:
Verifying archive integrity... 100% MD5 checksums are OK. All good.

Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS
Unsatisfied dependencies. Missing component: Linux headers for running kernel, 6.8.0-50-generic.
This is a fatal error, cannot install DisplayLink Linux Software.


Not sure what do do here... Should I upgrade or downgrade my Kernel? Or anything else?

Thanks a lot in advance for any hint :-)

PS: I already installed evdi-dkms 1.14.2, as suggested above, but this didn't help...

Make sure you have "main" included in your list of packages from the ubuntu repo.
If you only did a minimal installation, you may not have had the main package

Ubuntu provides 4 repositories –
Main
Multiverse
Restricted
Universe

A version of dkms from main is required by evdi

Also check if you have secure boot turned on, if yes, you will need the DKMS & EVDI to be signed correctly in order to load them into the kernel via DKMS.
or turn off UEFI secure boot.
