Default Updated Drivers from 1.0.335 to 1.2.65

Hello,
I have this dock:
Product: Dell USB3.0 Dock (D3100)
Manufacturer: DisplayLink

And I read about the new drivers being available, and I read the change log and was pretty excited, because the issues resolve were ones I have been having for over a year.
I ran the ./displaylink-driver-1.2.65.run, it ran fine. I then rebooted, now the displays dont work.
The monitors are no longer detected or show up in dmesg. Network, sound and usb hub all still work.

I tried downgrading back to 1.0.335, but it didnt help, I am pretty sure the firmware of the dock updated. Attached is my dlsupporttool zip file.

Help,
LinuxDocky

The issue was Ubuntu has updated how it validates it kernel modules for secure boot.
I needed to disable secure boot, now even the lastest version of the drivers works.

Disable secure boot in your vendor's bios, then disable it in ubuntu.
I stole this part from Nevin on these vary forums:

It seems that the command line used for disabling the secure boot mode was the following:
sudo mokutil --disable-validation
-asked for a password
- restart and during BIOS step ask to type any key for modification
- choose change secure boot state
- enter some characters of the password
