How to install DisplayLink driver on LinuxMint 17.3

I have a USB 3.0 docking station connected with my laptop having LinuxMint 17.3. I can't manage to install DisplayLink driver on it. I could make it work with Ubuntu 15.04, but with LinuxMint it wan't recognize external monitor, even though there is no error message during the install procedure.

I tried to follow some proposal on DisplayLink forum, and I tried to modify installation file so SYSTEMINITDAEMON had systemd or upstart values, but none of these worked.

Since I already found some posts reported it worked for LinuxMint 17.2, I guess it's possible, but I couldn't find exact instructions if something else should be changed in installation script.

If you have an nVidia card install the driver for it Then open the nVidia application an select a profile to use "Intel (PowerSaver Mode)" That should bring up your monitors right away
