disable mouse pointer and keyboard by Ubuntu Terminal

[javad1378]

I connected two mouses and keyboards to my laptop (in /dev/input I have 2 mouses and keyboards) and I want to disable only one of mouses and keyboards in a specific wine virtual drive only by "Ubuntu terminal" or "cmd windows".
Is there any way to do this by a command ???

Probably there are other solutions, but you can "disable"[1] your mouse and keyboard with "loginctl" in Ubuntu
(WARNING: This will disable your mouse on your laptop. If something went wrong, remove the 72-seat-*** files in /etc/udev/rules.d/)

Find your devices with:

Code: Select all

loginctl seat-status seat0

For example the output is:

Code: Select all

...
│ usb:usb1
│ ├─/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb1/1-1/1-1:1.0/0003:03F0:1198.0001/input/input0
│ │ input:input0 "HP HP USB 1000dpi Laser Mouse"
...

You can disable and enable your mouse with:

Code: Select all

# disable mouse
loginctl attach seat1 "/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb1/1-1/1-1:1.0/0003:03F0:1198.0001/input/input0"

# enable mouse
loginctl attach seat0 "/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb1/1-1/1-1:1.0/0003:03F0:1198.0001/input/input0"
