Arch Linux User Repository

@jmbarrios, i talked with PlusMinus, he is in contact with the driver developers to align a solution without future problems, as soon as he has answers he will be updating the package with the correct solutions. As for the problem with evdi, check to see which version is trying to install, otherwise I'm wrong, the new version of the displaylink driver requires a more current version of evdi. As I have not yet purchased my Dell dockstation, I have not had any way to install and test the driver effectively.

I can confirm that the solution by @vS0uz4 works to download th driver file. But the package does not work for me, this because the evdi kernel driver can not be compiled. My kernel is 4.12.4-1-ARCH

PlusMinus, As I mentioned, I was able to resolve the issue of downloading the driver file, I am sharing with you the github repository with the changes made, so that you can update the package. https://github.com/vs0uz4/displaylink_aur No more, congratulations.

PlusMinus, I sent an email explaining how to download the file via console, I hope it helps. Basically I passed through the WGET command the parameters that are passed by the form of the download site. Follow the URL wget --user-agent=Mozilla/5.0 --save-cookies cookies.txt --post-data 'fileId=993&accept_submit=Accept' --no-check-certificate http://www.displaylink.com/downloads/file?id=993 -O new_filename.zip It is not possible to use the URL (http: //assets.displaylink.com/live/downloads/ ...) as the @chico mentioned, because it has an expiration parameter. This parameter is concatenated with authentication data, so there is no possibility of change.

Well, the download link gives an invalid zip file due to an authentication mechanism. I had to download the file manually, get the checksum and modify the PKGBUILD file accordingly. I've tried to get a valid download link but I fail to authenticate. By spying on the http headers I found out the URL (including the authentication data.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- [chico@inti ~]$ wget http://assets.displaylink.com/live/downloads/software/f993_DisplayLink%20USB%20Graphics%20Software%20for%20Ubuntu%201.3.54.zip?AWSAccessKeyId=AKIAJHGQWPVXWHEDJUEA&Expires=1499078247&Signature=Im%2Bth5wbf75M12tXTx1iD0CL8%2FY%3D [1] 28968 [2] 28969 [chico@inti ~]$ Redirecting output to ‘wget-log.1’. ^C [1]- Exit 8 wget http://assets.displaylink.com/live/downloads/software/f993_DisplayLink%20USB%20Graphics%20Software%20for%20Ubuntu%201.3.54.zip?AWSAccessKeyId=AKIAJHGQWPVXWHEDJUEA [2]+ Done Expires=1499078247 [chico@inti ~]$ cat wget-log.1 --2017-07-03 12:28:46-- http://assets.displaylink.com/live/downloads/software/f993_DisplayLink%20USB%20Graphics%20Software%20for%20Ubuntu%201.3.54.zip?AWSAccessKeyId=AKIAJHGQWPVXWHEDJUEA Resolving assets.displaylink.com... 52.218.48.148 Connecting to assets.displaylink.com|52.218.48.148|:80... connected.

Yeah, saw that yesterday as well. I just don‘t know yet how to get the file since they changed their download mechanism to JS. :-/

Thanks adamgomes, your fix worked for me - " if you modify the PKGBUILD file in the evdi package so that you are using 1.4.1, it will compile w/ 4.11.1 through 4.11.3 on Line 4: pkgver=1.4.1 on Line 23: md5sums=('eece77058251418d5707457aa8ae914e') Then you can re-build this package. "
