I have been trying for many hours to get DisplayLink to install on my brand new computer, B550-F motherboard, 5900-X CPU and Zorin. Lots of errors, depending on the version of displaylink I try to install. Errors include:

Building EVDI kernel module with DKMS Failed to build evdi/5.2.14

make -j24 KERNELREL.... Failed to install evdi to the kernel tree.

error: evdi-dkms Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

I finally found displaylink-debian and followed those instructions, failed, then ran debug with the following output:

Did you try to install with displaylink-debian or with the official package?

davecman commented 2 years ago

I've tried both. Three versions of the full package plus the debian pack.

davecman commented 2 years ago

I think I have finally figured out that my system simply does not have EVDI installed, and I can't figure out how to do it. I followed instructions from: https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/building-displaylink-evdi/73626 But when I run the "sudo dkms build evdi/devel command, I get an error:

make -j24 KERNELRELEASE=5.13.0-39-generic all INCLUDEDIR=/lib/modules/5.13.0-39-generic/build/include KVERSION=5.13.0-39-generic DKMS_BUILD=1...(bad exit status: 2) Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 5.13.0-39-generic (x86_64) Consult /var/lib/dkms/evdi/devel/build/make.log for more information.

I have spent more than 10 hours trying to get Displaylink installed and am beyond frustrated.

Please someone help.

Thanks.

Can seriously no one help me at all?

Barabazs commented 2 years ago

Mixing different installation methods won't do you any good. This might even make it harder to troubleshoot... Can you try the steps below and report please?

  1. sudo ./displaylink-debian.sh --install
  2. Copy the output of the installation and save it somewhere.
  3. Reboot and see if it works.
  4. Post the output of the installation here.

davecman commented 2 years ago

I can find no evidence that I have anything EVDI anywhere on my computer, and I have tried various methods of trying to install it, none of which have worked.

ERROR (code 3): Failed to build evdi/4.2.29.

But I am still happy to try anything else you can suggest.

Thank you again for your help, Barabazs.

What is the content of the file /var/lib/dkms/evdi/1.10.1/build/make.log

davecman commented 2 years ago

(EDIT: I don't know why some of the text is larger and bold than the rest. In the text editor, it was all the same.)

You have to put the output inside a code block so it doesn't get formatted as markdown. More info here I edited your message with code blocks for clarity.

I have no "1.10.1" folder.

Weird, because that's where the installer should have saved the logs.

I have a dev folder and a devel folder, both of which I created when I tried previously to manually install EVDI.

You made it a lot harder to troubleshoot and almost impossible to find the root cause of your issue. I would suggest trying to reboot with another kernel version and try installing with displaylink-debian only.

davecman commented 2 years ago

Thank you, @Barabazs, for all your help.

After backing up everything, I wiped the hard drive and installed Zorin fresh. DisplayLink works fine now, as do both of my inputs on my graphics card, so 4 displays now, just the way I like it.

I still don't know why my previous installation refused to allow EFDI to be installed.

Thnaks again.

Barabazs commented 2 years ago

Glad to hear it. Too bad you had to resort to that.
