Building EVDI handing on Ubuntu 18.04.2
 

When I run the install command, it hangs

sudo ./displaylink-driver-5.1.26.run
Verifying archive integrity... 100% All good.

This is on a Thinkpad 580. I saw some old threads about this but I'm wondering if there is some new way to solve this.

In my /var/lib/dkms/evdi/5.1.26/4.15.0-51-generic/x86_64/log/make.log file, it says:

mkdir -p /var/lib/dkms/evdi/5.1.26/build/.tmp_versions ; rm -f /var/lib/dkms/evdi/5.1.26/build/.tmp_versions/*

Any ideas would be appreciated!
