DisplayLink stopped working on 18.04

Quick update in case it helps anyone:

After reading the previous reply linking to the docs for the latest driver version (which only states it is compatible with Ubuntu 20.04), I also found someone had solved this issue by installing the latest driver on 18.04 (in this thread on the AskUbuntu Forums).

I've now tried that myself, and can confirm DisplayLink is again working, and both of my external monitors are functioning as expected.
