Ubuntu 19.04 and DisplayLink Driver

adin · 06-05-2019, 08:27 PM

I can confirm that using DisplayLink driver v5.1.26 works (almost), on Ubuntu 19.04 (kernel 5.0.0-16-generic).

I can get two monitors to work with display port additionally to the laptop.

However, I'm experiencing random system freezes. Randomly, the whole system just stops, I can't see if there is any relation with what I'm doing. The only way to get the system back is a hard shutdown.

Any ideas on how to diagnose this?
