Modified script Debian Friendly

One more thought. I would like to borrow your installer scripting services when I have my displaylink init.d package working. I am using init.d so the software loads on RC5. Like I stated earlier, I want to make the USB detection the parent condition for all other services or threads. I would like to add a code segment to your install script when I have the auto detection working. The idea is adding a bit of code that lists your connected monitors after the driver is started. I would like for a text prompt to load up all of your monitors and ask you to enter which provider is the reference, and which are the positioned monitors. This would then create a permanent config file that would be loaded every time the script package is started. I think this is a good idea because random internet people will have something that just works and they won't have to do a lot of tweaking. If we make the scripts detailed enough, then other distros can borrow the ideas / code base for their project.

Hi all,

I have installed the drivers but after enabling extra screen in Gnome Screens management, it crashes X server and I need to log in again. Using Debian 8.2.

Output of dmesg can be found on pastebin: http://pastebin.com/ugVgQ5Vk
The DisplayLink logs can be found under that url: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3_...ew?usp=sharing

Any thoughs why this is happening?

Thanks,
Marek

Hi Marek,

I don't found anything that could explain why your X crashes un your dmesg... The DL logs may help but I can't read them. Some people of DL team will certainly talk about it.

Could you post your Xserver's error log please ?

Thx

Hi Guerrierk,

Thanks for the reply. I pasted my Xorg logs here http://pastebin.com/y56ekUR9

Thanks,
Marek

I have installed Xfce on my Debian and I am getting now extra message error when trying to enable extra screen. The message is:

Code:

The last active output must not be disabled, the system would be unusable.

Therefore, the question is what to do with that issue?

Reinstalled yesterday to Ubuntu 14.04.2 and it was working all fine. Reinstalled back to Debian 8.2 with LXDE and couldn't get it working.

My laptop is running with hybrid video cards which are: Intel HD Graphics 5500 and AMD Radeon R7 M270

Can there be an issue with video card drivers? Which one I should be using?

@marek, and everybody else interested.

I made a DisplayLink driver installer for Debian (Jessie/Stretch/Sid)

It works regardless of your kernel version.

displaylink-debian licence is GPLv3 and if you’d like to add any changes or to extend it to any other distribution then Debian, be my guest!

Might this installer (which"works regardless of your kernel version") work on Ubuntu (for DOCK110REU)?

The DL installer incorrectly concludes my kernel is too old (4.4 > 3.14):

$ sudo ./displaylink-driver-1.0.68.run
Verifying archive integrity... All good.
Uncompressing DisplayLink Linux Driver 1.0.68 100%
DisplayLink Linux Software 1.0.68 install script called: install
Distribution discovered: Linux Mint 17.3 Rosa
Unsatisfied dependencies. Missing component: Kernel version 4.4.0-0-exton is too old. At least 3.14 is required.
This is a fatal error, cannot install DisplayLink Linux Software.

Please let me know the right place to ask this question if not here. Will be grateful for any pointers.

Thanks
