Ubuntu 21.04: could not insert 'evdi': Exec format error

Please run the installer with uninstall param, this will get rid of the evdi you had installer previously:

Quote:

Aug 4 18:48:25 mZBOX sh[45730]: Module evdi/1.9.1 already installed on kernel 5.11.0-25-generic/x86_64

and then reboot, and run installer again. It should be fine from there. It was for me

Thanks for this hint. I tried this already several times, but it does not solve the problem.

ok, so if you still have another evdi loaded, can you make sure you do not have `evdi-dkms` installed and then repeat uninstall + install procedure?

This was one of my tests when I had the problem with DisplayLink: I installed evdi-dkms, but this also failed when I tried "modprobe evdi".

I removed evdi-dkms, but the problem with DisplayLink remains.

Package status is not "installiert":

Code:

mmehl@mZBOX:~$ apt list evdi-dkms
Auflistung… Fertig
evdi-dkms/hirsute,hirsute 1.9.1-1ubuntu1 all

I know it is not helping but decided to post this anyway.
I have checked the same kernel you have installed and I can reproduce the same issue you have posted. So I'd say this is a bug that needs to be reported.
