Cannot unlock screen after prolonged period of time

[Where Where]

As a separate issue, it looks like ctrl+alt+f1 (or any of the F keys) does
not switch to a virtual console, so I can't try the above. Are there common
issues that prevent either virtual consoles from spawning or users
switching to them?
