Ubuntu 19.04 and DisplayLink Driver

So actually, after trying again, it worked. In general, it does seem a little buggy as my plasmashell crashed after rebooting and unlike installs on 18.04 I had to reboot to get the monitors to work at all. I don't really know why it works now. Last time it froze my computer on "Installing EVDI kernel module to kernel tree". This time it did the same thing, but after 10 seconds it completed.

Hopefully there will be a new update released that's tested and actually meant for 19.04, but if you're lucky, 5.1 does work. Sometimes.

Disclaimer: I did run a "sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade -y" today so it's possible that's the reason it works now.
