Ok I took a chance and I made it work as well. Thanks StewPid11.

Here I am going to present detailed step by step operations to achieve the ultimate goal.

1. Remove driver

Code:

sudo apt remove displaylink-driver

2. Run autoremove (it should show at least two packages to be removed: dkms and evdi)

Code:

sudo apt autoremove

3. Reboot
4. Set Prompt=normal in /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades.
5. Run

Code:

sudo do-release-upgrade

6. Go to https://www.synaptics.com/products/d...wnloads/ubuntu and download Latest Official Driver. DO NOT try to install it with APT Repository.
7. Unzip it
8. Give executable perms to the unzipped script

Code:

chmod +x displaylink-driver-6.2.0-30.run

9. Run script and accept (Y) all questions/prompts

Code:

sudo ./displaylink-driver-6.2.0-30.run

Done
