Thanks. Your comments led me to look at swap. There is no swap!
I installed from iso image several weeks ago (I am traveling and had a
bad ecryptfs corruption, not sure how this happened, and needed to
reinstall, and had this on my memory stick for testing).
I selected encrypted and had an prexisting swap partition. The
installer made a 2GB swapfile (okay) but the ecryptfs swap did not get
configured correctly, so no swap. So there is some inconsistency with
the installer, clearly, that should be ironed out.
I made normal swap on both the swapfile and the swap partition, followed
by swapon -a. Now there is plenty of swap. I wonder if this is the
cause of the lockscreen behavior? Difficultly with swap.
I will observe. Any pointers on correctly configuring my ecryptfs swap
at this point? Thanks!!
