Description

Hi,

I have just installed Kali Linux 2024.2 (KDE) with Kernel 6.6.15 amd64, DisplayLink-driver is not working.

Though installation completes successfully once installed, also I get the display on second and third screens.

But when asked to **restart**, and I do, the OS doesn't go forward after the following Error message:

### ERROR

```
[FAILED] Failed to start displaylink-driver.service - DisplayLink Driver Service.
[FAILED] Failed to start vmware.service - LSB: This service starts and stops VMWare service.
```

Below provided is the **DEBUG output**:
