​docking station Dell D3100 - display NOT working

[dimikox]

Hello,

I have been using kubuntu for the last year and a half, it is my first topic and it concerns a connection with a dockin station, Dell D3100.
As i can see, Dell has drivers only for windows, but I contacted Dell and it told me that ubuntu drivers have been released, unofficially.

I found the drivers from here: https://www.synaptics.com/products/d...wnloads/ubuntu
I followed the driver installation process and after that i followed this intructions from here:
https://support.displaylink.com/know...ent-x-upgrades
which i found in the Dell community, here: https://www.dell.com/community/Linux.../td-p/5131742c.

So, all peripherals, mouse, keyboard, speakers are installed and working perfectly but the screen is not recognized.

is there anything else to try? does anyone else have a similar problem?

Thank you

The Dell link is broken, so I wonder if the second link is older/outdated?

Which Kubuntu version?


Assuming you followed the instructions fully and completely, with no errors present?

Hi, thank you for your reply.

i have Kubuntu 20.04.

I completed the process you sent to the link above, actually it was the same process I did.

Specifically, I got the message on the last screen, where Xorg is active. I disconnected the dock before install and reboot the laptop after that.
All peripherals working perfectly except screen.

I do not know what else to do.

I do not know if it matters that I ran the latest drivers provided by displaylink: displaylink-driver-5.4.1-55.174.run
