Build hangs on Ubuntu 18.10
(Yes, I did search the forum before asking. )
The build hangs when installing DisplayLink on my Ubuntu 18.10. This is what it looks like: root@min1:tmp> ./displaylink-driver-5.1.26.run Verifying archive integrity... 100% All good. Uncompressing DisplayLink Linux Driver 5.1.26 100% DisplayLink Linux Software 5.1.26 install script called: install Distribution discovered: Ubuntu 18.10 Installing Configuring EVDI DKMS module Registering EVDI kernel module with DKMS Building EVDI kernel module with DKMS If I kill this and re-try the installation, it breezes through, but won't detect my DUEX USB screen. SLSupportToll output in attachment. Cheers, fischelbyxa |

you need to run it using sudo
IE :
sudo ./displaylink-driver-5.1.26.run |

(Yes, I'm lazy. I often to sudo bash/csh/ash/tcsh/whatever-shell to become root for a while. Then I don't have to do sudo before each command.) |

I've done it since sudo was introduced (mid 80s?) on my own Unix/Linux machines (and before that, I ran "su - root"). The only difference from running every single command with sudo, is that the commands I run aren't logged.
But this is not this thread's question. |

I had the same case, but after restarting my computer after second install I disabled "Secure Boot" from BIOS and both external monitors started working. |
