displaylink-debian

DisplayLink driver installer for Debian GNU/Linux, Ubuntu, Elementary OS, Mint and Kali Linux.

Problem

DisplayLink releases its drivers only for Ubuntu 14.04, and latest kernel version they support is 3.19.

displaylink-debian

• Allows you to seamlessly install/uninstall DisplayLink drivers on Debian GNU/Linux, Ubuntu and elementary OS.

How? Just run the script! (as sudo)

sudo ./displaylink-debian.sh

Technical

displaylink-debian.sh

• Downloads and extracts contents of original [DisplayLink Ubuntu driver] (http://www.displaylink.com/downloads/ubuntu.php>)

• displaylink-debian.sh will modify contents of original displaylink-installer.sh and customize it for Debian. After which install/uninstall is performed.

• Supported platforms are:

  • Debian: Jessie 8.0/Stretch 9.0/Sid (unstable)
  • Ubuntu: 14.04 Trusty/15.04 Vivid/15.10 Wily/16.04 Xenial/16.10 Yakkety
  • elementary OS: O.3 Freya/0.4 Loki
  • Mint: 15 Olivia/16 Petra/17.3 Rosa/18 Sarah
  • Kali: 2016.2/kali-rolling

  Regardless of which kernel version you're using.
