Currently this package doesn't build with Linux 6.10.3 or higher. This is due to https://github.com/DisplayLink/evdi/issues/481

In order to fix this add the following line at the end of the prepare() function in the PKGBUILD file:

sed -i 's/>= LINUX_VERSION_CODE/<= LINUX_VERSION_CODE/' module/evdi_platform_dev.h module/evdi_platform_dev.c

Hi,

I have updated my kernel to 6.10.3-arch1-2 this morning and the displaylink service does not start anymore. I have the following error showing in the journal:

Module evdi not found in directory /lib/modules/6.10.3-arch1-2

R

(using Wayland).

Had to manually edit the PKGBUILD (e.g. in ~/.cache/yay/evdi-git/PKGBUILD) at line 90, from

install -Dpm644 module/* -t "${_DKMS}/"

to:

find module/ -type f ! -path '*/tests/*' -exec install -Dpm644 {} -t "${_DKMS}/" \;

Sorry folks. I should have read the posts before my post to get the needed information. It works for me after changing the branch in the PKGBUILD.

Since today I have problems with building evdi-git. I realized that my external screens were not recognized and that displaylink could not be started because modprobe evdi failed. I tried to rebuild evid-git and that fails with the following errors:

I'm not sure what I can do to overcome the "invalid reference" in git. Can you help me out?

@zweieuro Have you tried installing linux-headers?

endorfina commented on 2024-02-02 12:04 (UTC)

@MaKaNu Can confirm that commenting out devel fixes evdi

MaKaNu commented on 2024-02-02 09:50 (UTC)

@cedricroijakkers are you sure? The line checking out devel is commtented. Neverless I also got the invalid reference: origin/devel. Checking twice it seems my cached PKGBUILD is still uncommented. Deleted the PKGBUILD and got again the uncommented version.

cedricroijakkers commented on 2024-01-31 08:44 (UTC)

This package is referring to branch devel which does not exist anymore. Can you please switch it to main?

zweieuro commented on 2024-01-01 18:06 (UTC)

I am on kernel 6.6.7-arch1-1 but after installing evdi-git the modprobe still fails with modprobe: FATAL: Module evdi not found in directory /lib/modules/6.6.7-arch1-1
