I need this for my AOC usb monitor for which I asked: AOC I1659FWUX USB-Powered Portable monitor stopped working on Ubuntu 20.04

The solution for the OP was: follow these instructions: How to install DisplayLink software on Ubuntu 20.04. See their comments under the question.

If anyone else is struggling in general with the install, see my new answer here: Full instructions: installing displaylink-driver on Ubuntu 20.04 (also applies to 22.04 or later)
