Description Ezequiel Partida 2024-07-16 17:16:42 CEST

When my laptop is connected to an HP or lenovo USB Type C docking station booting time gets stuck for some time.

This dock stations have a network card and 2 or more HDMI/DP ports.

In my case it's an HP dock station but same happens with lenovo branded..

They use DisplayLink technology.. but the problem seems to be the network card, I have attached a picture of what I get if the dock station is connected...

The only way to avoid this is to connec the dock station after it boots.

Btw.. I used the displaylink video driver I packed myself for mageia, katnatek also did some adjustments to give more options.  It would be great to include it in mageia 10.
