Cannot install Display Link driver on Kali GNU/Linux 2.0

[jossylopes]

Hello guys,

I'm also trying to install this driver on Kali Sana 2.0 without any success,
here is my output:

home@localhost:~/displaylink-driver-1.0.138$ sudo ./displaylink-installer.sh
DisplayLink Linux Software 1.0.138 install script called:
Distribution discovered: Kali GNU/Linux 2.0
WARNING: Kernel version 4.0.0-kali1-amd64 is not supported. Highest supported version is 3.19.
Unsatisfied dependencies. Missing component: Linux headers for running kernel, 4.0.0-kali1-amd64.
This is a fatal error, cannot install DisplayLink Linux Software.

The output of my headers is:
home@localhost:~/displaylink-driver-1.0.138$ sudo apt-cache policy linux-headers-4.0.0-kali1-amd64
linux-headers-4.0.0-kali1-amd64:

Any thoughts on this are welcome

Thanks

Hey Jossy,

Were you able to find out a solution to get this to work with Kali? I'm at the end of my wits and just stumbled across your post. Please share any information you may have.

Thanks!

To verify kernel headers are available, the installation script is checking if the following file exists:

/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build/Kconfig

If you are sure you have everything installed and you are able to compile kernel modules, you can extract the installer components, comment out the check in the installer script and run the script manually.

Cheers,
Michal
