Unable to reinstall driver 1.2.58(Ubuntu 16.04)
Hi,
I was trying to reinstall the driver on my system after a distribution upgrade (ubuntu 15.10 -> 16.04.1). I have the following WARNING and I guess I am stuck with the previous instalation: DisplayLink$ sudo ./displaylink-driver-1.2.58.run [sudo] password for ------: Verifying archive integrity... All good. Uncompressing DisplayLink Linux Driver 1.2.58 100% DisplayLink Linux Software 1.2.58 install script called: install Distribution discovered: Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS WARNING: Version 1.0.68 of EVDI kernel module is already running. Please reboot before attempting to re-install DisplayLink Linux Software. Installation terminated. Any idea on how I can remove the previous version? I tried to use the uninstall provided by this version, but it keep stating the same message. Note: I did not uninstall the previous version with sudo displaylink-installer uninstall I don't have the file anywhere since I did the uninstall... Thanks in advance Last edited by astroman3001gt; 09-26-2016 at 09:24 AM. |

It seems that I was able to fix this myself.
I used the previous version available to perform the uninstall: sudo ./displaylink-driver-1.0.335.run uninstall Then reboot and install the latest version. sudo ./displaylink-driver-1.2.58.run So far so good. |
