Dell Universal Dock D6000 on ubuntu

dell-D6000-dock-ubuntu.md

Caveats

• NOTE: I had to reboot after doing this to eliminate display artifacts.
• Also, the dock doesn't appear to support using both of the displayport ports simultaneously :'(
• And MST (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DisplayPort#Multi-Stream_Transport_(MST) ) doesn't seem to work on this dock, so you can't daisy chain monitors.

TLDR

1. download driver from http://www.displaylink.com/downloads/ubuntu
2. unpack

unzip DisplayLink\ USB\ Graphics\ Software\ for\ Ubuntu\ 4.4.zip

3. install dependencies

sudo apt install dkms

4. install displaylink

cd DisplayLink\ USB\ Graphics\ Software\ for\ Ubuntu\ 4.4
# set script executable
chmod +x ./displaylink-driver-4.4.24.run
# run it
sudo ./displaylink-driver-4.4.24.run

Thanks @ahmeddiri! fixed it with that information.

I'm trying to use it with 3 monitors connected via USB-C. However, it only works the 2 DP monitors. The HDMI doesn't work. If I disconnect one DP then the HDMI works.

Ah yeah, I think the hardware only supports 2 simultaneous outputs :( I never got all 3 to work at the same time.

Thanks !

working!
thx!

First I changed both default.pa and system.pa like so: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/DisplayLink#Displays_disconnect_at_random_intervals_when_using_the_Dell_D6000_docking_station

Then I changed my Nvidia driver from proprietary to Nouveau.

Somewhere in here my monitors started working with no graphics issues or docking station disconnects.
