I did this yesterday. But, even without this, at home my userid was
able to power on the VM. And, at home I can run it fine.=20

Another interesting thing I am researching is that when I log out of
either user id, the Ubuntu Gnome GUI simply gives me a black screen, and
does not repond to ctrl-alt-backspace or ctrl-alt-fn. I don't see
anything strange yet in the logs. I was able to ssh into the laptop,
but I was not able to kill the X server or GDM.=20
