Hi - I also get exactly the same error as below...... any updates?

Job for displaylink.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status displaylink.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

Hello. I use an ubuntu LTS 16.04 Display Link just does not work. (Screen asus G4LMTF restarting every 20 seconds, with following messages on syslog:)

I ve done a report with DLSupportTool, but i do not know how to send it to yours.

Regards

-DisplayLink 1.2.65 works for me on Ubuntu 16.04
-If upgrading from an older version of DisplayLink, make sure you run this FIRST:

"displaylink-installer.sh uninstall"

-In some older versions of DisplayLink, the above lives in /usr/lib/displaylink

-In DisplayLink 1.2.65, the above lives in /opt/displaylink

-After you run the above, run the "displaylink-driver-1.2.65.run" file as usual.

->The installation instructions need to be updated so that they address 16.04 as well as 14.04!!!

Hey,
I'm still seeing

Error:

Job for displaylink.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status displaylink.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

i would go one step further than Massimiliano and suggest that this software effort is complete garbage

with Ubuntu Gnome (hence, Gnome Display Manager, aka GDM), there is still the same problem. I need to login with DisplayLink unplugged, then I can plug after login. Otherwise it won't work.
Furthermore, there are no man pages, you don't know where the files are, you don't know that there is a systemd script called 'dlm.service', you don''t know that there is an install/uninstall script because it has permissions 700 and normal users won't see it (normal user should see teh script and should be prompted to run as root), you're not providing a deb/rpm file, there is actually no repository for it and we need to check manually for updates.
Let's say, that there is much room for improvements...

Hi, i'm running Ubuntu 16.04 and i'm getting the same error like others:
"Job for displaylink.service failed because the control process exited with error code..."
I hope we get a fixed driver soon. I decided to take DisplayLink because of Ubuntu support!
Best

[Ubuntu 16.04] ]If you guys are having problem to start the "displaylink service", and already turned off the Secure Book, you can turn off the validation using the command:

sudo mokutil --disable-validation

I wrote a script to run on startup after I logged into ubuntu 16.04, this wil lsetup external monitors and or turn off the laptop screen. Everything is configured via ini file in ~/.config/dplink.ini

Hi,

I'm using Ubuntu 16.04 and I tried to install driver version 1.1.62.
I'm having the same problem mentioned by Jonathan.

Error:

Job for displaylink.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status displaylink.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

Hi,

I am using Xubuntu 16.04 LTS and have just downloaded the latest driver.
I have run 'sudo ./displaylink-driver-1.1.62.run' and I receive the following error:

Job for displaylink.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status displaylink.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

Can anyone help with this?

There's still an awful lot of kernel crashes and warnings printed in dmesg ... these are printed apx 10 every second:

[ 413.069660] [drm:drm_wait_vblank [drm]] *ERROR* Unsupported type value 0x1b7, supported mask 0x7400003f
[ 413.069685] [drm:drm_wait_vblank [drm]] *ERROR* Unsupported type value 0x40001b7, supported mask 0x7400003f

I'm on a X1 Carbon G1 with a Lenovo ThinkPad USB 3.0 port replicator (0A33971) if that is any help.

I suggest you update your download page text to reflect the support of 16.04.

Thank you Kyle Amadio, the https://github.com/AdnanHodzic/displaylink-debian project, suddenly my new Lenovo USB 3.0 dock (0A33971) started working like a charm for me on Ubuntu 16.04!

So happy I can now dock my X1 Carbon (G1) :-)

Something must have updated the firmware as well, because now the built-in NIC no longer disconnects/connects? Oh well, hoping for an official update soon, the DisplayLinkManager is really EATING CPU clock cycles ...

The new release is under internal review and approval.

I found a github repo but the driver keeps crashing https://github.com/AdnanHodzic/displaylink-debian

Michał what is the status? When we can expect new working release. P.S. Męczę się kurwa strasznie na jednym monitorze :)

I'm hoping that this receives due attention soon. My ASUS MB-159B+ 15.6" USB3.0 monitor has become, and will be useless until Ubuntu 16.04 (kernel 4.4.0) is supported. Kinda an expensive paperweight. Ubuntu 16.04 LTS is here, and here to stay. It needs to be embraced as the LTS replacement for 14.04.

I have just bought displaylink adapter - waiting to new driver :)

Thank you for the update and your continued development of the Linux driver in an open fashion. Eagerly awaiting the new 16.04 driver.
