Kubuntu 24.04 /w zabbly 6.15.7 kernel #995
Description
Logs in with x11. I attempted re-install, "DisplayLink Lenovo LT1421 wide", is still not working. It turns on during boot but turns off shortly after, I have to un-plug and plug it then it stays on but still doesn't work. .
When I first installed OS fresh, DisplayLink was working withOUT installing ANY drivers.
I ran this command "sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall" and was no longer able to boot. I used a -1 prior zfs snapshot of system ROOT to boot but from there onward the LT1421 ceased to ever function. I proceeded to blacklist nouveau drivers and install nvidia-desktop-575, which is working fine. I tried the apt & .run install methods of synaptics driver, uninstalled both and found this git and attempted it also, to no avail.
... I attempted booting with generic kernel "vmlinuz-6.8.0-64-generic" to attempt another re-install but wasn't able to boot so I set it back..
I manually started the displaylink service after I saw blank status on first run of -- debug, it was originally inactive/dead. Even if I started the service, if I log out and log back in, its "enabled" but inactive/dead ::
