Hi aaron, after building up my hate again towards microsoft for two months (bought a new fancy laptop, upgraded to windows11, and my screens connected via display link went dark from time to time, no fix, really freaking annoying), I thought %&#$ this, I'll try ubuntu one more time.
Installed 20.04, downloaded the drivers for displaylink. Went through all the misery listed above. Installed 21.10, downloaded the beta drivers from display link. Bam. Works like a charm. So if you are able to upgrade to 21.10, it might be the fix for you too -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-amdgpu in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1875015 Title: Ubuntu 20.04 and Displaylink is extremely slow Status in Nouveau Xorg driver: Unknown Status in OEM Priority Project: New Status in xf86-video-amd: Unknown Status in X.Org X server: Unknown Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-470 package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in xorg-server package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in xserver-xorg-video-amdgpu package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in xserver-xorg-video-nouveau package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in xorg-server source package in Focal: In Progress Status in xorg-server source package in Hirsute: In Progress Status in xorg-server source package in Impish: Fix Released Bug description: Using ubuntu 20.04 on displaylink docking with external monitor is totally slow, unusable. The GUI responds very slow, if you click, the command of the click goes on after about 3 seconds... if you type, all the letters are with the same lag, so it is totally unusable. Was using displaylink without any problem on 19.10 until yesterday, when I upgraded to 20.04. It is terrific. If i plug out the usb for the displaylink docking station, than the speed is back, and the system is ok, if I connect it to the docking station again, everything extremely slow again. Please investigate this asap, as it is unusable on displaylink docking stations.
