Debian 8.1 driver install

stuguy909 · 08-26-2015, 08:22 PM

I was reading the other post about the gentleman with the custom display-link driver for debian 8.1. His installer seems to have started the dlm service, where as, mine did not. I do not appear to have DLM in my services list.

Edit: Upon further research. This is a common occurrence because the install script only supports Ubuntu and its /lib/system.d/system hierarchy. There are work-arounds available. Searching....

stuguy909 · 08-26-2015, 09:36 PM

A temporary work around to at least get a step further in the process:

run the displaylink-driver-1.0.68.run file with the --keep --noexec options to unpack the files into a directory. cd into that driver directory. edit the displaylink-installer.sh file. Edit the line with SYSTEMINITDAEMON= to be SYSTEMINITDAEMON=systemd

run

Code:

displaylink-installer.sh -install

With my symbolic link work around and editing this file, the driver installs and dlm is installed and started. HOWEVER, on my computer, my system crashed. After reboot, I am unable to start the displaylink.service because it is masked.

Code:

# systemctl start displaylink.service
Failed to start displaylink.service: Unit displaylink.service is masked.

Edit: kicked off:

Code:

# systemctl -a
UNIT                                                                        LOAD      ACTIVE   SUB       DESCRIPTION

Hi stuguy909,

Could you post results for
# dmesg
# lsusb

when your display is connected please.

Thx.

PS : I test on another system and I had to blacklist udlfb to work correctly (it's not done by the installer). I have specify it into /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-framebuffer.conf

Code:

blacklist udlfb

I will update my installer and re-upload it.

Thanks,

Your dmesg have no problem. Your ThinkPad USB 3.0 Dock is correctly detected...

Could you post the result of lsmod please ?

To help users in solving problem about the displaylink, some tests could be done :

Code:

# lsmod | grep evdi

It must return some lines with evdi module

Code:

# dmesg | grep -i display

It must not return any error.

Finally these two command should display services as active

Code:

# systemctl status display-manager.service
# systemctl status displaylink.service

If all of these command are correct, your device should be correctly detected and usable.

;-)

the udlfb was already blacklisted on my system. I didn't do it personally, however. My procedure may have been slightly different than yours.

A new version of the script is uploaded. This will automatically detect and activate your monitors. You will currently need to edit the xposition function to suit your needs. The script will not currently turn ON your monitors.
http://stuartanderson.info/displaylink_v_alpha0.06.txt
Edit: To elaborate on the ON, you still need to activate your monitors in the display settings menu. I wasn't being cynical.

stuguy909 · 09-09-2015, 03:45 PM

eureka! I found a few syntax and coding bugs that was preventing the script from properly completing. I uploaded the new displaylink script that turns on your monitors and positions them for you with a simple command. This is a work in progress. I am working on completely automating this driver to be plug and play with only a minor pre-configuration requirement required for Debian 8.1. This script is dependent on having successfully installed the Displaylink driver on Debian 8.1. I am not currently supporting anything but Debian 8.1. There is another thread containing a working installer for Debian 8.1.

Here is my working beta script:

Finally these two command should display services as active Code: # systemctl status display-manager.service # systemctl status displaylink.service If all of these command are correct, your device should be correctly detected and usable. ;-)

You will currently need to edit the xposition function to suit your needs. The script will not currently turn ON your monitors. http://stuartanderson.info/displaylink_v_alpha0.06.txt Edit: To elaborate on the ON, you still need to activate your monitors in the display settings menu. I wasn't being cynical. Last edited by stuguy909; 09-09-2015 at 03:45 AM.

I uploaded the new displaylink script that turns on your monitors and positions them for you with a simple command. This is a work in progress. I am working on completely automating this driver to be plug and play with only a minor pre-configuration requirement required for Debian 8.1. This script is dependent on having successfully installed the Displaylink driver on Debian 8.1. I am not currently supporting anything but Debian 8.1. There is another thread containing a working installer for Debian 8.1. Here is my working beta script: http://stuartanderson.info/displaylink_v_alpha0.07.txt
