How to install
Hi all,
I am having some difficulty trying to get a kingston dipslay link multi screen adapter to work with my dell inspiron 5584 laptop running ubuntu 18.04 with a 5.3 kernel. The adapter i am using is the one found here: https://www.kensington.com/en-gb/p/p...splay-adapter/ Although Ubuntu is not listed under the compatibility - is there any way to install a driver to make it work? I have tried searching online for days and have not found anything of use - It's really a shame because I have one hdmi port only on my laptop, and would like to use a usb adapter that i have above to dual screen two monitors. Any help is appreciated! |
Did you try the official driver? https://www.displaylink.com/downloads/ubuntu

Please find my log files attached. My problem is that when i plug in the Kensington Display Link adapter it just does not recognise a monitor on ubuntu - windows works fine (without driver installation). If you could give me any advice on how to make it work I would really appreciate it! thank you! |
