Ubuntu 16.04 doesn't detect my second monitor

Linux and Unix-Like Ubuntu

Looks like they may have done the smart thing and crammed all their own files under /opt/ and linked to them instead of strewing them all over the filesystem, this may make it easier to track them all down.

find / -lname '/opt/displaylink/*' 2>/dev/null

I tried

find /lib -name '*udl*.ko'

and got:

/lib/modules/4.4.0-38-generic/kernel/drivers/video/fbdev/udlfb.ko
/lib/modules/4.4.0-38-generic/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/udl/udl.ko
/lib/modules/4.4.0-31-generic/kernel/drivers/video/fbdev/udlfb.ko
/lib/modules/4.4.0-31-generic/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/udl/udl.ko

Then, did you I assume you meant to try:

ls -l /lib/modules/4.4.0-38-generic/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/udl/

and

ls -l /lib/modules/4.4.0-31-generic/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/udl/

which gave:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 60462 Sep  6 14:53 /lib/modules/4.4.0-38-generic/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/udl/udl.ko

and

--rw-r--r-- 1 root root 60406 Jul 12 22:00 /lib/modules/4.4.0-31-generic/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/udl/udl.ko

respectively

Looks like they didn't bother linking those, just dumped in raw files :frowning: Don't suppose they answer their email.

It doesn't seem like they have customer support, but I can try to post on their forum. Thanks for all your help with this, I really appreciate it!
