Ubuntu 16.04.2 (kernerl 4.8) crash when I attach displaylink device
I followed the instruction when installing the Ubuntu driver but the system crashes when I attach the displaylink device. I get a message that says:
The system is running in low-graphics mode Your screen, graphics card and input device settings could not be detected correctly . You will need to configure these yourself. and then when I press OK (mouse has stopped working), another window appears with some options, but irrespective of choice of option, the system eventually crashes. Help would be greatly appreciated. I am on a Lenovo Y50-70 laptop. Thanks Mats |

Bump!
Maybe someone from DisplayLink would care to comment? Or simply acknowledge the existence of this bug? |

I have the same issue, it was working fine until I upgrade kernel from 4.4 to 4.8.

Same here
I have the same crash. I have a Dell XPS 15 and the monitor I am attaching is a Dell P1914S. I've installed the Displaylink drivers (plus dkms) and pretty soon after I attach the monitor either using DisplayPort or DVI cables Ubuntu crashes. There is a vga port on the monitor and I will try that but I don't have the right converters at the moment.

Which driver for the built-in graphics cards do you use? Logs would tell us more about your systems.
Cheers, Michal |

Which driver for the built-in graphics cards do you use? Can you attach logs? Note that the driver does not officially support closed-source NVIDIA/AMD drivers, although there are some success stories where people made it work.
Cheers, Michal |
