"How to install DisplayLink for Ubuntu" from.Restart, plug in the monitor and it magically worked for me. I saw it listed at this point but only a black screen on the Asus monitor. Install the dkms package (This was to resolve an error I was getting regarding missing packages for dkms, whatever that is) sudo apt-get install dkms Modify the the displaylink-installer.sh with your favorite editor:Įcho "WARNING: Unknown distribution, assuming defaults - this may fail." >&2 displaylink-driver-1.0.335.run -keep -noexecĮnter the created directory cd displaylink-driver-1.0.335.run/ Make the installation script executable chmod u+x displaylink-driver-1.0.335.run Move the driver to somewhere for manipulation (I put mine under ~/driver/displaylink) and unzip it Note the driver version number and update yours accordingly as it will change in time. Ubuntu 16.04 - fresh install on a Samsung Ativ Book 9 Spin I'm brand new to Ubuntu, so far drivers have been a pain in the a., wifi setup was worse. This is all done from the terminal, minus the download. OK finally got mine working perfectly here are the steps I did. I'd be glad to receive some suggestions after a good working day wasted on this. I'm not familiar with X server configurations, but my guess is that it has something to do with that.įor sure, it doesnt work out of the box after installing the drivers. The "working" screen i got from the picture above was the result of putting a config file for the X server, /usr/share/X11//nf If i disconnect and reconnect the usb nothing happens When I connect the screen while running, the whole X session crashes, sending me back to the login screen, and the USB screen stays off usb 1-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 The best result I got so far is having a split screen with horrible colors and a distorted resolution: I googled and googled, installed the drivers, followed guides, tried others solutions. I bought an Asus MB168B+ USB monitor which i spent the whole day trying to make it work, without any success. I love it, i keep loving it but sometimes it is just frustrating to see how much effort it takes for the simplest things. First of all, let me tell you I am fond of Ubuntu and linux, using it every day since 4-5 years now.
