I would like to use kernel 5.4 but the error in xorg-server

severach commented on 2020-12-15 03:55 (UTC)

QUIET is caused by set -u, not an interesting error. Missing directory 5.9.9 is caused by not rebooting after a kernel upgrade. This package does not detect an upgraded kernel. There's nothing to fix yet because someone begged me to move to 1.8.0 and the published version of DisplayLink won't run with it.

jamincollins commented on 2020-12-14 18:46 (UTC)

@BrokenHelm the issue is caused by the set -u usage in the PKGBUILD.

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1905988#p1905988

In this particular case, commenting the set -u at the beginning of the build function seems to be enough. However, based on the above comment, I would say that all set -u usage should be removed.

BrokenHelm commented on 2020-11-24 07:43 (UTC)

Any suggestions on how to fix the following?

The 1.7 build still works fine on kernel 5.9, the 1.8 is unable to build on my system. Checking the scripts I cant figure what is wrong.

There is now a new evdi-1.7 package with the patch for kernel 5.9 applied

sickcodes commented on 2020-10-15 13:26 (UTC)

Kernel 5.9 fix authored by @abucodonosor https://github.com/abucodonosor

sudo pacman -R evdi-git #used -Rns
yay --getpkgbuild evdi-git
cd evdi-git
sed -i -e s/DisplayLink/sickcodes/g PKGBUILD
makepkg -si
sudo modprobe evdi
sudo systemctl disable displaylink.service
# removing 99-displaylink.rules is necessary for me
# sudo rm sudo /etc/udev/rules.d/99-displaylink.rules
reboot
sudo systemctl start displaylink

His fix works for 1.7.0 too.

@jamincollins your observation regarding the branches is correct. Normally a -git package provides the newest commit from an active branch.

Note however that current displaylink will not work with evdi>=1.7.0, even the released evdi 1.8.0. Users currently (mis)use the evdi-git package to stay on 1.7.0, while they probably should use the evdi package in version 1.7.0

jamincollins commented on 2020-09-20 01:09 (UTC)

Upstream does not use master as it's default branch: https://github.com/DisplayLink/evdi/branches

However, the PKGBUILD has master hard coded as the branch to use: https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=evdi-git#n29

This causes the package to build from a stale branch rather than upstream's default.
