Support Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Focal Fossa)

[davidjonbarnes@yahoo.co.u]

I have tried the displaylink-debian but it has errors - HUNK failed
I am wondering whether it would work if i did a fresh install of 20.04
I am wondering if someone has instructions for completely removing the official DisplayLink driver before trying displaylink-debian
I have a Thinkpad with Intel Graphics

I have the same issue, Intel Thinkpad, worked under Eaon, did a fresh install of Focal, managed to get video working with help from here. Then Focal got an update yesterday (pretty sure I saw EVDI name in packages being updated) and now no video. Previous fixes not working
You could try a fresh Linux install, but as soon as it tries to update I suspect you'll hit the same issue.

I really wanted to try scaling too - why no word when new official drivers will be released? We shouldnt really need to compile them ourselves either.

Got the displaylink working on 20.04 @ amd and vega graphics and wayland. I had to install libdrm-dev to avoid the drm.h error while running install from the git clone. Now everythings fine other than the graphics and sound seem to be slightly cutting off and choppy. Anyways 100% better than without it.

Its about time! Saw it too and if already published, the driver should be available for download asap...

Have 2 of the docks and would be very disappointed if it would not be supported anymore..
