Regular display black-outs since 5.5 Beta
Release: 5.5 Beta
Issue presents in the Desktop environment as the Displaylink Hub (ALOGIC DX2 Docking Station) disconnecting and all displays turning off.. System will return 5-10 seconds later.
Issue occurs less frequently with the 5.13 kernel, happens every few minutes on the 5.15.5 kernel.
dmesg section below - multiple diagnostic tool outputs provided to Synology support via email.

Any updates here? This bug is driving me crazy...
Hi, would you mind checking if the most recent driver helps? https://www.synaptics.com/products/displaylink-graphics/downloads/ubuntu
Hey Emelia - Thanks for the new version! I have installed the update.. I should know within a day or so if it has tangibly improved the stability... I will revert soon..
Hey @displaylink-emajewsk - I have the new driver installed, and I am still seeing dropouts. First dropout happened within 40minutes of installation...

Hey @displaylink-emajewsk any suggestions? I am still seeing regular drop outs, I have not yet seen a stack backtrace in the DMESG log, so we MIGHT be making progress?
It's strange. We have eliminated some crashes, which I hoped would help here. But it seems your blackouts are related to something else. I don't suppose you have another displaylink device, which could refute this one being faulty?
multiple diagnostic tool outputs provided to Synology support via email.
Did you contact us with the following form? https://support.displaylink.com/
I don't recall seeing your logs.
Hey @displaylink-emajewsk. I use the dock 12 hours a day via OSX without issue, so I highly doubt it is a hardware issue.
Running the 5.13 kernel and the 5.4.1 versions of the drivers, the solution worked flawlessly.
The problems started as soon as I had to update to v5.5 when the LTS Linux kernel went to v5.15.
As for logs, check with Jakub D in support form the UK office (they were sent via a work email address to [email protected]).
@snrkl Ah, I see it now, thanks! As I said before, we've fixed the segv dump, but it seems your "drop out" issue is unfortunately something else entirely. We'll try to replicate this behavior. I'll tell you if I have any updates.
@displaylink-emajewsk awesome.. If it is a different problem, should we create a new issue? Happy to capture more log outputs if you need them.
No need to create a new one, I've just changed the title if you don't mind.
I am having this same issue. Any updates with this? This happens both on Xorg and Wayland.

Hey @displaylink-emajewsk - is there anything we can do to assist? I am rapidly getting to the point of getting rid of all things displaylink.. When the dock drops out, my headphones, audio, network - everything drops.. It is a serious impact to everything that I do...
I am keen to help if there is anything we can do to assist?
@snrkl @zachspar Hi, we're taking a look at the issue. If you'd be so kind could you please provide logs and some system information gathered by our support tool? https://synaptics.com/products/displaylink-graphics/downloads/linux-support-tool If you don't want to upload the information here, please create a support ticket using the "contact displaylink" form at: https://support.displaylink.com/ Just please link or mention this github issue in the message, so that they forward the files to us right away. Thanks in advance! I hope we'll be able to help. :)
Hey @displaylink-emajewsk - I have the bundles, but the "Contact Displaylink" button on the page you linked to, looks like a button, but doesn't actually do anything. See attached screenshot with element inspection on (all adblockers etc disabled) - you can see it is styled like a link, but isn't actually doing anything.

Although, yours looks like firefox as well
Are you perhaps blocking javascript on the webpage?
FF yes, no JS blocking... works in brave. .I will submit via there..
Incidentally, your log collation tool is broken.. if you run as user, you miss DMESG and DMIDECODE:
('dmesg',) -> Command '('dmesg',)' returned non-zero exit status 1
('dmidecode',) -> Command '('dmidecode',)' returned non-zero exit status 1
If you run as root, you miss XORG details
('/home/root/.local/share/xorg', 'Xorg.*') -> [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/home/root/.local/share/xorg'
Yeah, I've been hoping we replace it with a simple bash script in the near future 😋
Log bundle uploaded via support contact page. Apologies for the delay - the files needed to be sanitised a little... Also, I also ran as root to collect the dmesg and dmidecode files, so be aware they were captured on a separate run as root.
I've been having better stability on Wayland lately.
@zachspar that is interesting to note.. I have a need to stay on an LTS platform, so I am using PoPOS 20.04 (based off ubuntu) presently...
@snrkl @zachspar Did you guys manage to gather the logs? We've not seen them on UserVoice yet
Submitted via the customer contact page per https://github.com/DisplayLink/evdi/issues/347#issuecomment-1084541716 5 days a ago with a link to the GitHub issue in the comments, and referenced to you by name @displaylink-emajewsk ...
I tried looking for it, but couldn't find it. Perhaps there was some issue? Could you try again? Or email directly to [email protected] ?
@displaylink-emajewsk I have emailed to [email protected] with Gitlab reference and marked ATTN to yourself.
ZIP is password protected - password emailed separately..
Any updates on this issue?
I'm testing a udev workaround provided by support yesterday. Only installed it right before I went to bed last night, so I'll advise how it goes once I've spent some time with it.
@snrkl what was the work around. I have the same issue, the screens goes off and on since upgrade of drivers from 5.4 to 5.5. I was on 5.5beta for a while but the issue persists on 5.5-release as well. Also noticed that since upgrading the drivers other DisplayLink devices stopped working so I am limited only to the docking station Dell D6000.
