Ubuntu 22.04 kernel 6.8.8 fails to start GUI

I'm using LM 23.1 (Ubuntu 22.04). I've been on kernel 6.5.0-45 with Displaylink driver 5.8 for a long time with a Wavlink docking station https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09FT8BXZR

Here is what I did before upgrading kernel to 6.8.0-40:
1. Uninstall the 5.8 driver:

Code:

sudo ./displaylink-driver-6.0.0-24.run uninstall

2. Reboot
3. Install the 6.0 driver:

Code:

sudo ./displaylink-driver-6.0.0-24.run

4. Reboot
5. Upgrade kernel to 6.8.0-40
6. Profit!
