I'm trying to install Displaylink Linux driver for the Dell docking station by using Add/Remove Software app, and the installation gets stuck with the following error:

Thanks for the quick reply! I’m VERY new to Garuda (i’ve being using Linux Mint for several years), so I need some more guidance on how to post questions on this forum. After I read your comments, I still have questions:

• Was a format (copied text and not a screen shot) of the error information correct?

• Instead of posting my question here, do I have to send a Bug Report or the Reporting bugs should be done in addition to the post here?

@SGS

inxi -Fxxxza

How/where/what app do I need to use to get that information?

Thank you.

[SGS]

Like in Mint, terminal, maybe clear with #?

# inxi -Fxxxza

or

$ inxi -Fxxxza

or is this root?

Maybe must be more specific in wiki???

Please start with answers…

Yes, I did, but didn’t find an answer.

How you install?

I was using the Add/Remove Software app. I found Displaylink drivers there, ran installation that hot stuck in the middle with the error message I copied in my initial post here.

I wasn’t using Terminal, I did it in Add/Remove Software.

WTH you do not post the inxi?

Note: Displaylink 5.4 needs evdi 1.9. evdi 1.9.0 is NOT compatible with kernel >= 5.11.

I am out.

Someone on that site suggested to use the installer created for Ubuntu. I’ve tried it with a such result:

<pre>[andrey@andrey-inspiron77062n1 ~]$ sudo /home/andrey/Downloads/displaylink-driver-5.4.0-55.153.run

Missing component: libdrm.
This is a fatal error, cannot install DisplayLink Linux Software.

Next time you use .exe or some macOS files?

But

I am out. I am out. I am out.I am out. I am out. I am out.

Solved! "This was fixed by running sudo pamac build displaylink instead of using the pamac GUI."
