DisplayLink Linux Software 5.4.0-55.153 install script called:
Distribution discovered: Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS
Unsatisfied dependencies. Missing component: Linux headers for running kernel, 5.11.0-051100-generic.
This is a fatal error, cannot install DisplayLink Linux Software.

it is saying that you have missing package.

sudo apt update

sudo apt install linux-headers-$(uname -r)

sudo reboot now

Enter the above codes and it will sync the database of all packages and then install the missing linux-headers package.
Install the DisplayLink Driver again and it should be installed without any issue.
