@vdhert Was this created when installing or did you create that config manually?
I noticed that there are issues with UEFI, so i tried turning secure boot off, but it doesn't help (it should stay off though, right?).
Yes, secure boot should be off (at least while installing and troubleshooting. Then you can try to sign the module yourself if you're feeling adventurous: self-signing-modules.md

4 years ago this config was born automatically when I run install script. I only made sure it was the only file in xorg.conf.d directory after first unsuccessful reboot (following advice from other thread in this repo), but that didn't help.
I keep secure boot off when I occasionally try installing it. I think I will try that only after success with SB off, thank you though :)

4 years ago @vdhert Please try again with the latest version. The latest commits might fix your issue. Perform a proper uninstall with reboots at appropriate moment etc.

4 years ago so i did, but it looks the same as before. there seem to be new things in syslog though. also: i don't know if that was the case before, but right now during install there are git warnings about being in detached head mode, sample below. i surely start installation in latest version of master branch. syslog21-09-2020.log

You are in 'detached HEAD' state. You can look around, make experimental
changes and commit them, and you can discard any commits you make in this
state without impacting any branches by switching back to a branch.
If you want to create a new branch to retain commits you create, you may
do so (now or later) by using -c with the switch command. Example:
git switch -c <new-branch-name>
Or undo this operation with:
git switch -

4 years ago One of my computers refused to boot after I tried out various /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-displaylink.conf files on Debian, so try first to comment out all lines and reboot to see if that helps.
Quite another thing: Ubuntu is actively supported by Displaylink.com and I have had Ubuntu 20.04 working on a computer. You should not need to use Adrian's otherwise excellent Debian script.
Get rid of every trace of displaylink on your computer: first uninstall then do a a sudo rm -r * (after checking if you have other stuff in that directory).
download displaylink from displaylink.com and that should just work.

4 years ago @jdybdahl I am pleasantly surprised to hear that you have the Displaylink drivers working on 20.04 LTS. I haven't been able to get it to properly load, experiencing issues similar to @vdhert here where I can't get past the reboot for Xorg (nvidia-450 driver installed, which has been shown to work in the past with the latest 4.4 and 4.5 mainline kernels).
How did you go about getting things working correctly? Do you have a descrete GPU on your system or an integrated one? Are you using the open-source or closed source nvidia drivers?

4 years ago @JPGlaser, no, no GPU and no NVIDIA. I had Ubuntu on a Microsoft Surface Pro 3 laptop, upgraded it to 20.04 (not LTS) and installed DisplayLink from their site. The external screen switched on without me sending any commands. I have since installed Debian 10 on that computer and nothing worked until Barabazs fixed things.

4 years ago @JPGlaser, have a look at https://github.com/AdnanHodzic/displaylink-debian/issues/473#issuecomment-707745318.
Hi!
having all this:
I have no troubles with installation at all, but after reboot machine hangs either showing splash screen or info that i Plymounth splash screen is OK and that's it. I noticed that there are issues with UEFI, so i tried turning secure boot off, but it doesn't help (it should stay off though, right?). I am able to run tty, uninstall drivers and after reboot everything is back to previous state, which is dock station works without extra screen. I don't know much about linux, so excuse me if something here doesn't make sense. Am i doing something wrong, or is this actual issue with this driver?
EDIT: @Barabazs hi, thx for response. I've read a bit about logs in linux and as far as i understand you mean syslog. Please let me know if that doesn't make any sense and i should upload something else. Full (i think) is below, here are just parts that i guess might be interesting:
And full one:
