Has anyone tried the Lenovo USB 3.0 Dock on Ubuntu?

Edit August 2015

There is a beta driver now to support USB3 docks. See the linked forum for details.

Edit January 2016 Out of the box working:

• HDMI
• Sound (depending on your device change soundcard output)
• USB (front and back) With installed driver working:
• Ethernet https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Linux-Discussion/Onelink-Dock-and-Linux-support/td-p/1346267

Original answer

The video of the dock is not supported under Linux, and will not be for a longer time. The dock uses a DL3XXX-generation Displaylink chip for video, driver support for this does not exist and is not planned by the producer in the near future.

I repeat: although Displaylink claims to support Linux in their FAQ, the latest generation does NOT support Linux

But the NIC and usb ports work out of the box, so if you want an expensive usb-hub/NIC, go ahead.

USB2-based docks with displayport should be supported, though.

The DVI out on the dock seems to require some USB-3.0 DisplayPort driver support which is currently missing in the Linux kernel, so it likely won't work at the moment. https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=151463

I haven't managed to get the dock display out working here at least, but the NIC and usb ports work out of the box.

With Lenowo OneLink Dock (model DU9026S1) all worked out of box on Ubuntu 13.10, except LAN: you have to add ASIX driver: http://www.asix.com.tw/download.php?sub=downloadsearch&PSNoID=112 - go for USB 3.0 to Gigabit Ethernet and chose chip AX88179 - then install by extracting, make and (sudo) make install, as usually.

Additionally I personally found Sound Switcher to be of great use in connection with this docking: http://yktoo.com/software/indicatorSoundSwitcher...
