i installed it with sudo apt install evdi-dkms evdi-dkms is already the newest version (1.12.0+dfsg-0ubuntu2~22.04.2). after several reboot it still stays not found unless that is not the package name :)

dkms --version dkms-2.8.7

this file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-displaylink.conf was originally missing so i added but again nothing

Secure boot is turned off

any help is greatly appreciated! thanks

for anyone facing the same or similar issue i managed to resolve it by uninstalling this driver and re-installing the official displaylink drivers from and it just worked!
