Dell D6000 Dock and Ubuntu 18.04: Dock works only after login

IlmenauRatte · 08-13-2019, 09:25 PM

The dock ist connected via USB C to a computer running Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.
The dock does not work after startup without any users logged in.
Once I log in the dock works perfectly then stops working once the user logs out.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Ralf

Hi @IlmenauRatte, it has been a while since you posted. I would say that this is the default behavior. The DisplayLink driver only runs when a user is logged in.
