Hello,
Another new kid here.
Any recommendations on a docking station that will work with Open Mandriva?
My existing Kinsington display link wont have anything to do it.
That said I am impressed enough to switch just so I can have this distro on my laptop as well as my workstation.
Welcome @ to OpenMandriva and our forum. This forum is for users of OpenMandriva Linux operating systems.
OpenMandriva Forums are primarily users helping other users.
You are welcome to talk to our developers at OpenMandriva Chat.
Users with a problem need to read How to get better results when posting about problems before reporting any issue or problem. The article is not too long and Do Read.
When a new user has an issue please look in the documentation for OMLx. OpenMandriva wiki, Forum Resources guide and the “Search” function of the forum.
If you don’t find what you are looking for, try an Internet search. One can find out a lot from documentation or forum posts at other Linux distros. If user finds something written for another distro but you have some doubt ask at OpenMandriva Chat.
For serious technical issues and package/feature requests please file a bug report here.
Note: We are a small group. All the contributors and developers here are unpaid volunteers.
You can make OpenMandriva grow and improve by getting involved
Any help with testing would be appreciated whether one is technically proficient or a very non-technical user. The more people and more hardware we can get involved the better we can make OMLx releases and packaging. We do a lot of testing in VM’s as well. Developers tend to use Qemu, most user level testers use VirtualBox.
Perhaps you would get a quicker answer at OM-Chat. Or maybe one of our developers sees this.
Does it work if you hotplug it?
What is the output of:
dmesg | grep Kensington
Thank you I will repost.
Doesn’t work at all, presumably due to the lack of drivers (Only available for Ubuntu and family)
Which is why I was asking with an eye to replacing the one I have.
Not getting any output whatsoever from “dmesg | grep Kensington”
For those interested.
Displaylink Drivers are availible for OM.
enable non-free repos and use the command “DNF INSTALL DISPLAYLINK”
Thanks to berolinux via OM chat I don;t need a new docking station.
That’s excellent!
