Similarly, I'd like to know the command for locking so that I can put
it elsewhere; for example, into an rc.suspend file, so that if I
close my laptop's cover it will automatically lock the screen.
This at least I would have expected to find in the ma

Rolling back the kernel fixes this up. There wasn't anything about
this in UPDATING. I can get on perfectly well by plugging in an
Ethernet cable to the same router.
Any suggestions?
