I still can't download your installer. It states I do not have sufficient permissions. However, I was able to remodify the SYSTEMINITDAEMON=unknown entry on the refreshed --keep --noexec of the .run package, to SYSTEMINITDAEMON=systemd. This time when I installed, it successfully completes the install. However, after reboot, I still do not see my providers. I did start the displaylink service, however. This is a first.

This may have something to do with it.

Code:

# systemctl -a
display-manager.service     not-found inactive   dead       display-manager.service
displaylink.service              loaded    activating auto-restart DisplayLink Manager Service

OK. Could you post the results of :

Code:

# systemctl status displaylink.service
# lsmod | grep evdi
# dmesg

Thx

PS : I place my installer into drive folder : https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5q...ew?usp=sharing

It's not really normal that you don't have an active display-manager service. What DM do you use ? LigthDM ? Gnome Display Manager ?

Thx

KDE, I deleted it thinking it was displaylink stuff. damn. I will reinstall my KDE.

stuguy909 · 08-27-2015, 06:05 PM

I resolved my desktop issue, there wasn't one. It was still in default build. So uninstalled the displaylink stuff, verified, rebooted. I downloaded your installer from the google drive, followed instructions. Everything seemed to install fine. Rebooted. The system came up fine, but the displaylink.service wasn't started. I had to start it manually. It failed. This is the output.

Code:

# systemctl status displaylink.service
● displaylink.service - DisplayLink Manager Service

I do not have additional providers when I run xrandr --listproviders

While this service is not running, you will not have the new provider into xrandr...

The Displaylink Manager has been killed... The question is : why ?
Do you have log file in /var/log concerning Displaylink ?

Code:

# updatedb
# locate displaylink | grep log

What return the

Code:

# dmesg
# lsmod | grep udl

Thx

Into your dmesg, there is always a problem with the display manager service :

Code:

[    9.553262] systemd[1]: Cannot add dependency job for unit display-manager.service, ignoring: Unit display-manager.service failed to load: No such file or directory.

Since it's not running, your displaylink service will not run correctly...
You can try to use lighDM or another DM to test before resolve your KDE problem...
What have you fond to reinstall KDE ?

I did delete the service file as root. I completely uninstalled and rebooted and reinstalled many times. The result is always:

Code:

# systemctl status displaylink.service

The problem is not the displaylink.service but the display-manager.service

In KDE it should be KDM... You can maybe run

Code:

# dpkg-reconfigure kdm

I'm not sure about the name of the package so you can fond it with

Code:

# dpkg -l | grep -i KDM

Thx
