The DisplayLink option in the top bar of my Mac sometimes just doesn't show up. The only known option seems to be restarting but this doesn't work most of the time. It would be enormously helpful to know how to directly troubleshoot this service at a technical level or to simply have an 'App' that I could search for and restart.

Ubuntu Touch originally developed by canonical is still being developed by ubports.
I believe it could benefit from display link technology for external display support
it is currently based on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and is pretty well supported
it also uses an android container to interface with userspace drivers

I am currently installing the display link driver for Ubuntu 18.10, following https://github.com/AdnanHodzic/displaylink-debian. I did not try the 4.4.24 install script for 18.04 with 18.10, assuming that it might fail for 18.10, and seeing success reports in https://support.displaylink.com/forums/287786-displaylink-feature-suggestions/suggestions/35648710-support-ubuntu-18-04, although some people see screen outages.
An officially supported 18.10 driver would be great.

A GUI that shows available ports (Video,Sound,USB) and their status.

After updating to the latest 5.1.1 drivers, my 2nd monitor works properly to start. After rI disconnect, allow my laptop to go to sleep and then return, the 2nd monitor no longer functions :(

The only work around at this time is to reboot which will allow me to use the 2nd display

5.1.1 causes Zoom.us video conferencing and CamTwist to crash when installed.

Manuals and better support for all products you sell

Enable hotkeys for screen rotation (and other display functions). Other drivers use ctrl-alt-left and ctrl-alt-up (etc) to rotate the current screen, this should be available for DisplayLink as well. Phones and tablets have set the bar with seamless screen rotation, DisplayLink should support as near to this experience as possible.

Stop CPU from hitting over 100% on macbook pros?

Rather rather mixing up posts with various OS and driver versions please give users compatibility feedback on specific MacOS versions, e.g. 10.14.1.

Currently, you make a difficult situation much harder

Opening Intellij IDEA (and maybe other IDEs from Jetbrains) or a file in that IDE makes the output stutter a bit. It happens on every opening action

The whole display, including the mouse pointer, stutters for a few seconds

My third monitor uses a USB 3.0 graphics adapter powered by DisplayLink. After downloading version 5.1 update, I no longer can enable Airplay feature and my third monitor requires unplugging (after awakening from sleep mode) and replugging into my Mac Mini to get a signal to the monitor. Suggestions??

i was ussing my displayport and After an a firmware update my dispaly port does not star at all, it´s dead the lid on the fron it´s off

Whenever I reboot or shutdown my Windows 10 device, the dock reinstalls and this delays the network adapter. This is "new" behavior as of about 10/3/18. That might be when I updated to a certain driver version. I am currently on the latest version and the issue still occurs. The monitors come up immediately, it's just the network adapter that is slow to enable.

See:

It would be better if it could fail with an error in case the file already
exists and is not authentic (from previous installation).

Thanks for considering.

Using the UD3900 dock with macOS 10.13.6 works. I have set up multiple accounts to isolate data for enhanced security. All users have mirroring, but only the first user logged in can set the resolution. The subsequently logged in users have the same resolution as the laptop.

Does anyone else have this problem? Is there a reason or fix?

Hello,
I am using three monitor displays, connected to one graphic card. It works fine. But additionally I plan to connect the fourth USB monitor, using DisplayLink utility. I need to obtain the clone of one of these three monitors to this USB one (DL). Unfortunately, the Actual Multiple Monitors soft does not allow to do it. What I can do?
