Yes, I'd already tried that ...

But without starting up a GUI of any sort?  Colour me naive, but I'd
kind of expected something that prefaced itself with "gnome" to have
at least a minimal GUI .... ;-)

Aha!  Now _that_ does work fine.  Thankfully I'm not particularly fussed
about GUIs and can cope Just Fine with CLIs, so I can get my data perfectly

Many thanks for your help!
