xinput --set-prop "Western Digital My Book" "Device Enabled" 0 at the start of every X session and then start gnome-settings-daemon again. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/796325 Title: USB HD used as pointer input dev To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/udev/+bug/796325/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
