So, i want to know how i can setup my computer so that the below terminal commands are run everytime i boot up my computer.
I’m using
To list all my devices so that i know the ID to disable, i used:
...:~> **xinput list**
and then i disable my touchscreen input laptop screen and my touchpad/touchpad buttons with:
...:~> **xinput set-prop 11 "Device Enabled" 0**
...:~> **xinput set-prop 14 "Device Enabled" 0**
...:~> **xinput set-prop 10 "Device Enabled" 0**
I need this because touchpad is messed up if enable on all linux distros. I’m still debuging to see what really is messing up with the mouse cursor, but i’m almost sure it is the touchpad it self. It doesn’t move the cursor right after i turn it on, it depends.
The reality for now is that the with touchscreen and touchpad fully disabled, no more mouse cursors moving by themself are appearing. The next debug step is on 15 November with touchscreen enabled and touchpad fully disabled.
It is kinda funny that i thought someone was liking to check my pc remotely but the truth is that the default firewall is enabled and i have VNC disabled. So i might be safe i guess, or do you have something to tell me about this?
I have checked old tutorials on how to do this using Yast, but the options aren’t there as told.
The simplest method (for me) would be to bundle your commands into a simple bash/dash script and run it from root’s crontab using the “@reboot” time specification. See “man 5 crontab”

I don’t think you are dealing with something like that but just for fun
since you asked…
Check open ports, os and service versions:
nmap -sV -O ip_of_interface
Note that if you use virtualization software you may see VNC as an
open port if you scan localhost(127.0.0.1). This is normal if you are
using VNC to connect to the vms.
Be careful when using nmap. Do not use it to scan random IP
addresses! Only scan IPs you have control over. Don’t scan random
servers on the internet. Please.
You can also install wireshark and use it to monitor traffic on each
network interface. Wireshark will basically log every packet that goes
through the interface and then allow you to filter them and inspect
their contents.
Again though, I don’t think its a security issue but I thought you may
be interested in how you could at least start with tracking network
activity on your system. There is tons of great documentation on the
internet about these tools so feel free to dig into them and learn the
habits of your system.
If you can wait till after you login to issue those commands, you could stick them in .profile, or link a script in .profile with the commands in it. If you do the latter, be sure and background the script or you’ll hang your login process. :\
On a side note, I disabled two functions on my mouse using that method, as I apparently can’t middle-click with my mouse wheel in Firefox without shifting it to one side or another, causing a “back” or “forward” call to the browser.
I have this entry in .profile, which works perfectly to kill those side-ways “clicks”.
The reason I point this out is that I wasn’t able to use the id number of the device to accomplish this. Every time I reboot, those devices enumerate differently on my machine. Instead, I use the name of the device, provided by “xinput list”. Hopefully this saves you some headaches, if that becomes an issue for you
Hello my friend! I really appreciate your time for being so helpful It means a lot to me !!
I did the scan towards my localhost ip and this is what i got:
sudo nmap -sV -O localhost
root's password:

I was wondering if you could help me interpret if i have any security problem from the above code and maybe tell me what steps i could do to fix it? rotfl!
I’m very curious about learning new things from yoda masters
It means a lot to me !!
