Custom RPM created for Fedora and others

[enothen]

Awesome, thanks for letting me know. There was someone else having that 2min issue as well, so maybe the upgrade will take care of that. I didn't have that on my laptop.

Hi Eric,

Your site seems to be down at the moment, I keep getting server not found.

Is there a mirror of the RPMs?

I don't know if it was a blip or what, I see it's all up now and have downloaded the rpm. I do not have a mirror, but eventually I'll put this on copr.fedoraproject.org (I was just introduced to it recently).

HI Eric,

It is working now, just trying to install on my XPS13 9350 which arrived this morning.

I'm running into an error:

[root@phillaptop phil]# modprobe evdi
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'evdi': Exec format error

I have the following kernel installed:

[root@phillaptop phil]# rpm -q kernel
kernel-4.4.0-0.rc6.git1.2.fc24.x86_64

This is what I get in the log:

[root@phillaptop phil]# more /var/log/displaylink/displaylink.log

Any ideas?

Looks like you're missing kernel-headers. Run "rpm -q kernel kernel-core kernel-devel kernel-headers | sort" and check that you have matching versions. I'm running the lastest on F24, so it looks like this:

# rpm -q kernel kernel-core kernel-devel kernel-headers | sort
kernel-4.2.8-300.fc23.x86_64
kernel-core-4.2.8-300.fc23.x86_64
kernel-devel-4.2.8-300.fc23.x86_64
kernel-headers-4.2.8-300.fc23.x86_64

Hi Eric,

Thanks for the reply, I ended up uninstalling the kernel-headers and kernel devel and then re-installing, it works fine now.

All I have to do is figure out why the VGA port works but the HDMI port doesn't.

Update: I followed Coldfire's suggestion earlier in this thread and downgraded xorg (dnf --showduplicates --allowerasing --releasever=22 downgrade xorg-x11-server-Xorg). Everything is now working again and the menus actually show up in the correct monitors this time.

Been using this RPM for about 3 weeks now with no issues other than the menus(right click, file, edit, etc etc) refusing to open up on the display-link monitors and having to reconfigure the monitor positions on boot.

Fedora had some upgrades earlier today and as of right now I can't seem to be able to get the ports on the dock to work. They're recognized and I can see them inside the "configure displays" section of gnome, but I only see static on either monitor. No change if I move the mouse to the displays. If I restart gnome, I get to see my background, but still no update if I move my mouse to the dock monitors. There's also artifacts on my main monitor wherever my cursor ends up.

Just wondering if anyone has tried this with RHEL7 and/or CentOS7 as of yet, as well as related feedback with such.

I have a StarTech.com "Triple Video Docking Station for Laptops" (P/N: USB3DOCKH2DP) which is working quite nicely under Ubuntu 16.04 and a 4.8.0-39 kernel so far on a System76 Lemur laptop. The RHEL7 is an Lenovo ThinkPad 450 for work.

Thanks in advance!
