software that tries to interact with hardware directly almost never work through wine, this is expected

matiko13OP•7d ago

Oh. On another discord someone used bootles and for him works. He have other linux distro.

they are either using an unofficial bottles system package or they have done something with flatseal for bottles to give it the right permissions or done some other settings to get it to work. my experience has always been to not bother with tools that try to interact directly with hardware.

Oh. So in this case only VM for editing mouse. via this software 😦 .

its how i do it VM with usb passthrough, worst case usb controller passthrough with pci passthrough (check if you have a usb controller in its own iommu group before doing this, use it only if you absolutely must)

"(check if you have a usb controller in its own iommu group before doing this, use it only if you absolutely must) " --> how check this? I using this:

dont need to bother if just normal usb passthrough works so check that first

matiko13OP•7d ago

This works

HikariKnight•7d ago

some usb devices do funny things when you plug them in and require the whole controller yeah then you dont need to think about the usb controller if you can use that to change the mouse in the VM

And I don't know how disable this to using mouse again in my PC

HikariKnight•7d ago

using the software

matiko13OP•7d ago

I can't use mouse in software. Mouse stay in VM.

HikariKnight•7d ago

shut down the vm when youre done

matiko13OP•7d ago

I prefer save. So in this case I just shut down like normal windows.

matiko13OP•7d ago

HikariKnight•7d ago

if you absolutely need save then you need to ssh into your host and manually disconnect the mouse

matiko13OP•7d ago

And this is stay

matiko13OP•7d ago

Good I have 2nd mouse to plug

here is a script that will let you do that

#!/usr/bin/env bash
    devices=(1234:5678 9ABC:DEFG)
    vmname=$(virsh list | sed -n '3p' | sed -nr 's/ *[0-9]+ +(.*) +running/\1/p')

    attach_device() {
            vmname=$1
            device=(${2//:/ })
            action=$3
            xml_name=/tmp/device-${device[0]}:${device[1]}.xml

            echo "<hostdev mode='subsystem' type='usb'>"      > $xml_name
            echo "  <source>"                                >> $xml_name
            echo "          <vendor id='0x${device[0]}'/>"   >> $xml_name
            echo "          <product id='0x${device[1]}'/>"  >> $xml_name
            echo "  </source>"                               >> $xml_name
            echo "</hostdev>"                                >> $xml_name

            virsh $action-device $vmname $xml_name
    }

    if [ "$1" == "attach" ];
    then
            for dev in "${devices[@]}"
            do
                    attach_device "$vmname" $dev attach
            done
    else
            for dev in "${devices[@]}"
            do
                    attach_device "$vmname" $dev detach
            done
    fi

#!/usr/bin/env bash
    devices=(1234:5678 9ABC:DEFG)
    vmname=$(virsh list | sed -n '3p' | sed -nr 's/ *[0-9]+ +(.*) +running/\1/p')

    attach_device() {
            vmname=$1
            device=(${2//:/ })
            action=$3
            xml_name=/tmp/device-${device[0]}:${device[1]}.xml

            echo "<hostdev mode='subsystem' type='usb'>"      > $xml_name
            echo "  <source>"                                >> $xml_name
            echo "          <vendor id='0x${device[0]}'/>"   >> $xml_name
            echo "          <product id='0x${device[1]}'/>"  >> $xml_name
            echo "  </source>"                               >> $xml_name
            echo "</hostdev>"                                >> $xml_name

            virsh $action-device $vmname $xml_name
    }

    if [ "$1" == "attach" ];
    then
            for dev in "${devices[@]}"
            do
                    attach_device "$vmname" $dev attach
            done
    else
            for dev in "${devices[@]}"
            do
                    attach_device "$vmname" $dev detach
            done
    fi

just add the device id for the mouse into the devices array, save the file and execute it with sudo sudo vm-attach detach you can also do sudo vm-attach attach to attach the moude then through ssh but you need to SSH from the guest into the host you can setup that yourself
