Disable laptop's internal keyboard ubuntu 14.04 permaneltly

Question

I am using a DELL INSPIRON laptop. Unfortunately there occur an internal problem on the keyboard of the laptop. It may short any key which self-pressed all time and reasonable some problems which is very awkward. I use ubuntu 14.10 now and before I used windows 7.

I use this command at terminal

xinput --list
xinput float (#id) /* #id is get from the list*/

It works but regain the previous setting i.e. enable again when shut down and and restart. But I need to permanently disable the internal keyboard and when i need it back again then enable it.

Is there any procedure to do it?

I am also facing similar situation. Do you get any solution yet? — amansinghgusain, May 06 '17 at 09:51
