Modified script Debian Friendly

[k_t]

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

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!
