# Based on https://community.avaccess.com/t/kd-e10-34-monitor-with-3440x1440-goes-off-and-on-on-linux-xubuntu-24-04-only/446/3

# This solves the monitor disconnect and device restart that happened every ~25s on Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS
# when the USB Type-B to Type-A cable was connecting the desktop and the dock/switch, with the device 2 (desktop) being active.
# The original author reported the issue on Xubuntu 24.04

# The cause of the issue seems to be `brltty` taking over the UART interface on the  KVM Switch/Dock, mistakenly detecting
# the CP210x (USB to UART bridge) controller present on the device as a Braille terminal.

# The following two lines stop the currently running `brltty` service and mask it so that it doesn't get activated again.
