How can I simulate unplugging and plugging in my usb mouse from terminal and bash script?
1
When I ever boot into Ubuntu my wireless usb mouse gets stuck for moments frequently and the mouse wheel is too sensitive. Only when I unplug the wireless usb and plug it back in does the mouse return to normal.
I would like to simulate unplugging and plugging in my usb mouse in my startup bash script so that I don't have to do it manually every time. Is there a terminal command for this?
Thanks so much.

Try something like this:
sudo modprobe -r usbhid && sudo modprobe usbhid
You can put that in a script and link the script to a keyboard shortcut, or something along those lines (you'd have to do something about the sudo perms there if you wanted a shortcut).
If this doesn't work, try adding a sleep in there like this:
sudo modprobe -r usbhid && sleep 2 && sudo modprobe usbhid

Is there a script that runs with root privileges at startup so I can use these commands? I want to avoid any repetitive manual labour.

Heh, yea, put these lines in/etc/rc.localBEFORE theexit 0line. That is run every startup...I think (maybe every login). You might need a sleep before them too if you are running it at startup. Something likesleep 5 && sudo modprobe -r ...EDIT: Now that I think about this, I'll just give you one line to stick in there. Put this before theexit 0line:( sleep 2 && modprobe -r usbhid && sleep 2 && modprobe usbhid ) &

[sudo modprobe -r usbhid ... sudo modprobe usbhid] run in the terminal has no effect :( I still have to unplug and plug in the usb mouse. I think it has something to do with duplicate entries in xinput -list.

Hmm, then this is a bust. Sorry, but I'm not sure what else to do.

You can try loading and unloading the driver. That has Pretty much same effect. I'm on mobile though so can't say much more on that right now
