Re: [PLUG] really dumb ubuntu question

Perhaps someone already said this, but why not see if the person can get wired
with an Ethernet cable, then just remote in or use a reverse shell to get access
and fix the problem.  That way you can hack a little and figure out what you did
maybe.  Of course, one has to time such an event so both parties are available.

I was going to suggest this, but presumably since the machine is now at a writer's camp it's portable--thus perhaps outright blocking it constantly would be undesired (e.g., usage in sight of parents should be allowed).

++ for working in a mention of your talk tonight. Well-done. :D
