@Jmbarros, The 'evdi and evdi-pre-release' packages are also maintained by PlusMinus. I'm traveling at the moment and without my laptop, I can not compile or test the packages at this time. But I think momentarily you can change the PKGBUILD and change it making it meet your needs and communicate to PlusMinus, which gives it a check. As soon as I return from the trip I check how the package settings are. A big hug to everyone.

@VSOuz4 I try the following changes on PKGBUILD -pkgver=1.3.52 +pkgver=1.3.54 -source=(displaylink- driver-$pkgver.zip::http://www.displaylink.com/downloads/file\?id\=744 +source=(displaylink- driver-$pkgver.zip::http://www.displaylink.com/downloads/file?id=993 +DLAGENTS=('http::/usr/bin/wget -O %o --post- data=fileId=993&accept_submit=Accept %u') I can confirm the package it is built, but there is an error on evdi. Looking on src, the evdi file is called evdi-1.3.54-src.tar.gz. I extracted and compiled and the compilation was succesful. This compilation is failing on the evdi packages, evdi and evdi-pre-release, but it works on evdi-git.

@jmbarrios, i talked with PlusMinus, he is in contact with the driver developers to align a solution without future problems, as soon as he has answers he will be updating the package with the correct solutions. As for the problem with evdi, check to see which version is trying to install, otherwise I'm wrong, the new version of the displaylink driver requires a more current version of evdi. As I have not yet purchased my Dell dockstation, I have not had any way to install and test the driver effectively.

I can confirm that the solution by @vS0uz4 works to download th driver file. But the package does not work for me, this because the evdi kernel driver can not be compiled. My kernel is 4.12.4-1-ARCH

PlusMinus, As I mentioned, I was able to resolve the issue of downloading the driver file, I am sharing with you the github repository with the changes made, so that you can update the package. https://github.com/vs0uz4/displaylink_aur No more, congratulations.

PlusMinus, I sent an email explaining how to download the file via console, I hope it helps. Basically I passed through the WGET command the parameters that are passed by the form of the download site. Follow the URL wget --user-agent=Mozilla/5.0 --save-cookies cookies.txt --post-data 'fileId=993&accept_submit=Accept' --no-check-certificate http://www.displaylink.com/downloads/file?id=993 -O new_filename.zip It is not possible to use the URL (http: //assets.displaylink.com/live/downloads/ ...) as the @chico mentioned, because it has an expiration parameter. This parameter is concatenated with authentication data, so there is no possibility of change.

Well, the download link gives an invalid zip file due to an authentication mechanism. I had to download the file manually, get the checksum and modify the PKGBUILD file accordingly. I've tried to get a valid download link but I fail to authenticate. By spying on the http headers I found out the URL (including the authentication data.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- [chico@inti ~]$ wget http://assets.displaylink.com/live/downloads/software/f993_DisplayLink%20USB%20Graphics%20Software%20for%20Ubuntu%201.3.54.zip?AWSAccessKeyId=AKIAJHGQWPVXWHEDJUEA&Expires=1499078247&Signature=Im%2Bth5wbf75M12tXTx1iD0CL8%2FY%3D [1] 28968 [2] 28969 [chico@inti ~]$ Redirecting output to ‘wget-log.1’. ^C [1]- Exit 8 wget http://assets.displaylink.com/live/downloads/software/f993_DisplayLink%20USB%20Graphics%20Software%20for%20Ubuntu%201.3.54.zip?AWSAccessKeyId=AKIAJHGQWPVXWHEDJUEA [2]+ Done Expires=1499078247 [chico@inti ~]$ cat wget-log.1 --2017-07-03 12:28:46-- http://assets.displaylink.com/live/downloads/software/f993_DisplayLink%20USB%20Graphics%20Software%20for%20Ubuntu%201.3.54.zip?AWSAccessKeyId=AKIAJHGQWPVXWHEDJUEA Resolving assets.displaylink.com... 52.218.48.148 Connecting to assets.displaylink.com|52.218.48.148|:80... connected.

Yeah, saw that yesterday as well. I just don‘t know yet how to get the file since they changed their download mechanism to JS. :-/
