RPM file install
Hi. Hope you can help. I'm looking to install a displaylink-rpm that is no github for making displaylink adaptors work with Linux. This has not been an issue with installing this on my laptop with nobara on. As this is also based on fedora I assumed this would work the same. But once I have downloaded the RPM file I am unable to install it with discovery. Could you please advise how I can go about installing this?
Thanks

Display link is already installed on Bazzite during the build process.
For how to install a local rpm:
1. Open a terminal in the location of the rpm.
2. Run
rpm-ostree install ./name/of/rpm.rpm
3. Reboot into the deployment.Sweet. Thanks. I will give that a go.
But display link is already installed. If you are using secure boot you'll need to enroll the MOK to load the kernel driver.
This is no a steam deck
When I plug the dock in. Nothing happens.
Do I need to do the enroll with a steam deck?
Not required since secureboot is disabled by default on the Steam deck.
Ok. I will test again before attempting the manual install. . As I have updates.
So I tried this fix but did not work for me. Any idea why steam deck with bazzite does not like the Dell D6000 dock?
Is this maybe a known issue?
Found this by coincedence looking for my own displaylink issue (bluefin-surface actually).
Just if it helps, this dock has a known issue: https://github.com/displaylink-rpm/displaylink-rpm?tab=readme-ov-file#hardware-specific-behavior
Edit: and there is another bug already, so just for completeness: "DisplayLink not working on Dell D6000 Dock"
