You then need to (1) find that old monitor; (2) find the right cable; (3) find the right mouse; (3) pull out the computer from whatever corner it has been relegated to since you haven't touched it in, maybe years?; (4) hook up the monitor, mouse, etc. and diagnose the problem. With the laptop, just fold up the screen, reboot, hit f-something to get into safe boot, and diagnose the problem. The fun part is when your partner donates that old monitor to Goodwill in an effort to "clean up the clutter"....if ssh doesn't work, now you are shopping at Goodwill for an old monitor.
