DiplayLink broken after Catalina 10.15 Update

lspintzyk · 10-31-2019, 01:00 PM

Please upgrade your macOS to very recent Catalina 10.15.1

Together with DisplayLink driver 5.2.1 beta 3 all major issues should gone.

just went through complete driver/software removal and reinstallation of DisplayLink 5.2.1 Beta 3 on Catalina 10.15.1

Both DisplayLink driven monitors blank ...

Oops!

Thank I'll try 5.1.1 also ...

I've upgraded to macOS 10.15.1 and am using the DisplayLink USB Graphics Software for macOS 5.2.1 Beta 3 drivers and things stopped working. The beta 3 drivers work mostly fine on 10.15, but the update to 10.15.1 broke things.

The screen on my MacBook Pro (2018) blinks off and on when I plug my Dell D6000 dock in and the monitors connected to the dock don't display anything. I followed the instructions to clear the kextcache but that didn't change anything.

Any help would be appreciated.

I tried the power and docking station as suggested. No luck. I've gone through every troubleshooting option from the boards and nothing works. 10.15.1 does not work with the beta drivers at all.

ok so what i've done is this

1) installed the latest (beta 3)
2) detached all peripherals from my mac
3) restarted in safe mode => did not work when I connected the dock
4) detached all peripherals from my mac
5) How to reset the System Management Controller (SMC) on your Mac
6) Reset NVRAM or PRAM on your Mac
7) connected the docking station again => did not work
8) also connected the charging cable => for some reason it works now

i really hope i was not just lucky and this helps someone

best of luck

Hope this helps

Computer: MacBook Pro with MacOS Catalina 10.15.1
External Device: ASUS Portable Display MB169B+

The MB169B+ was working fine with the MacBook before the MacOS update to 10.15.1. A new DisplayLink driver is needed for the recent MacOS update of 10.15.1. The display will power on and show the ASUS brand and then immediately power back off.

The MB169B+ still works with no problems at all on my Samsung Chromebook XE525QBB.

Exact same for my case with iMac.
After upgrading to 10.15.1 (Cataline) from 10.14
(1) with the driver 5.2.1 bata3, "system preference" -> "display" -> "Arrangement" does not show the outer display
although "about this MAC" -> "System Report" -> "Hardware" -> "USB" shows the adapter.
(2) wirh the driver 5.1.1, "Arrangement" shows the display (Fine!), but the outer display says "NO SIGNAL"

Beta "3" is still NOT working.
