also I have tried to install evdi-dkms from repository, but same output

If you look into the log you can see the flex command is not installed, install by

sudo aprt-get install flex

But next you will get an new problem and another and it will fail anyhow.

An option I used is https://www.displaylink.com/downloads/file?id=1369 it possible to run and get DisplayLink to work for 20.04 version.
