Failed installation on Ubuntu 16.04.02 #87

I tried using displaylink-debian to install some driver for my Dell USB Adapter DA100. I am using Ubuntu 16.04.02 on a Dell XPS 13 9360.

I downloaded as .zip displaylink-debian , unzipped it, entered from terminal in the folder and run as sudo the .sh file. It completed successfully saying that DisplayLink_Ubuntu_1.3.54 had been installed. I rebooted.

But if I want to use my external monitor, it simply does not work (the monitor is not being seen at all).

If I do

systemctl status dlm.service

it says it has failed to activate DisplayLink Manager

dlm.service - DisplayLink Manager Service Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/dlm.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: activating (auto-restart) (Result: exit-code) since mar 2017-08-08 11:24:12 CEST; 1s ago Process: 2972 ExecStartPre=/sbin/modprobe evdi (code=exited, status=200/CHDIR)
