Missing dependencies in (re)installation of DiplayLink - Ubuntu
I have a Dell Adapter - USB 3.0 to HDMI/VGA/Ethernet/USB 2.0 (model DA100) that was running perfectly after installing "displaylink-driver-1.2.65" on my Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.
Suddenly it stopped working (I noticed that I could not use my external monitor through the Adapter) and I tried to reinstall a (more updated) version of the driver, namely "displaylink-driver-1.3.52". I first did "sudo apt-get install dkms" and then "sudo ./displaylink-driver-1.3.52.run" This is the output with the error message that I get: Verifying archive integrity... All good. Uncompressing DisplayLink Linux Driver 1.3.52 100% DisplayLink Linux Software 1.3.52 install script called: install Distribution discovered: Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS Unsatisfied dependencies. Missing component: Linux headers for running kernel, 4.4.0-75-generic. This is a fatal error, cannot install DisplayLink Linux Software. Any hints to what is the problem? I guess the missing Linux headers for running kernel...but what does it mean and how to fix this? thanks P.S. Even if I try to reinstall the old version of the driver, "displaylink-driver-1.2.65", I get the same error |
