Update:
Used this to solve the uninstall issue, editing script for for v5.8: https://github.com/AdnanHodzic/displaylink-debian/issues/380
Will re-test the installation
afaik this happens when you don't reboot between uninstalling and installing.
I had got the same issue that displaylink-driver.service not be found.
At the third try, I accidently executed the installation script from the home-dir:
sudo ./Downloads/displaylink-debian/displaylink-debian.sh
Because of that, the installation-script created a 6.0 folder in my home-dir. If you have the 6.0 folder in the displaylink-debian directory it should also work.
After looking into that, it seems to contain the extracted files from the ubuntu driver like discribed at https://support.displaylink.com/knowledgebase/articles/679060
To install the modified driver with ~/6.0/displaylink-driver-6.0/displaylink-installer.sh, first uninstall evdi and the broken installation of displaylink-debian.sh:
sudo apt remove evdi
sudo ./displaylink-debian.sh --uninstall
Then reboot.
Go into the accidently created folder and install the driver:
cd ~/6.0/displaylink-driver-6.0/
sudo ./displaylink-installer.sh
Reboot after correct installation.
The service displaylink-driver.service should run now.
systemctl status displaylink-driver.service
Like in post installation described I had to do some stuff with xrandr
xrandr --setprovideroutputsource 1 0
xrandr --setprovideroutputsource 2 0
xrandr --setprovideroutputsource 3 0
xrandr --setprovideroutputsource 4 0
xrandr --output DVI-I-1-1 --auto --right-of HDMI-1
Now the display is reachable in the system-settings but stays black.
After configuring the connected monitor there and applying, I was able to enable and extend the screen.
