How to install DisplayLink driver on ubuntu 24.04.01 LTS ?

[lucass]

It happened that it was enough to install
evdi-dkms package and continue with displaylink standalone installer.

Hello

I am trying to install DisplayLink for the first time on Ubuntu 24.04.1 with the stand-alone installer, but I always get this error message:

steph@steph-l141mu:~/Downloads/DisplayLink USB Graphics Software for Ubuntu6.1-EXE$ sudo ./displaylink-driver-6.1.0-17.run 
[sudo] password for steph: 
Verifying archive integrity...  100%   MD5 checksums are OK. All good.
Uncompressing DisplayLink Linux Driver 6.1.0  100%  
Distribution discovered: No LSB modules are available.
Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS
Unsatisfied dependencies. Missing component: Linux headers for running kernel, 6.8.0-50-generic.
This is a fatal error, cannot install DisplayLink Linux Software.

Not sure what do do here... Should I upgrade or downgrade my Kernel? Or anything else?

Thanks a lot in advance for any hint :-)

PS: I already installed evdi-dkms 1.14.2, as suggested above, but this didn't help...

Make sure you have "main" included in your list of packages from the ubuntu repo.
If you only did a minimal installation, you may not have had the main package

Ubuntu provides 4 repositories –
Main
Multiverse
Restricted
Universe

A version of dkms from main is required by evdi

Also check if you have secure boot turned on, if yes, you will need the DKMS & EVDI to be signed correctly in order to load them into the kernel via DKMS.
or turn off UEFI secure boot.
