Debian 8.1 driver install

[stuguy909]

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

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.

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

Edit: kicked off:

# systemctl -a
