Default What is this gibberish generated by DisplayLink?

Hi,

My two extra monitors are not working with my DisplayLink device. I'm running Arch Linux.

I figured I could debug a little bit and found this:

Code:
❯ /usr/lib/displaylink/DisplayLinkManager -h
Unknown argument: -h
DisplayLinkManager v6.5.17.0

Usage: 
DisplayLinkManager [options]

Options:


DisplayLinkManager
-debug     debug logging
-logging   log to console
-version   display version

So I ran:

Code:
/usr/lib/displaylink/DisplayLinkManager -logging -debug
I got all kinds of gibberish, separated by newlines. At the risk of sharing sensitive information, here are the first two lines:

What is that? I thought a simple base64 decode might work but that gives random binary numbers.

Anyone any idea how to decode this?
