I used the 15.04 x64 live-usb (I'm still running Arch Linux now).
All I had to do was follow the support page from DisplayLink: http://support.displaylink.com/knowledgebase/articles/615714#ubuntu

Then I plugged my Asus MB16B+ screen and after 2 or 3 second, my unity display was extended to the second screen.
