I am working in a stable install of Ubuntu 15.10. Everything seems to
be working fine but I needed to install nvidia drivers. When I attempt
to drop to terminal, as X must be off before I can do the install, I
used ctrl-alt-f1 but nothing happens.
I have rebooted multiple times and updated but this has had no effect.
If I kill X manually I am dropped to something that looks like the boot-
up sequence and can not type. I can use ctrl-alt-delete to reboot once
I am there but nothing else seems to work.
ctrl-alt-f1 works fine on my Ubuntu 15.04 macbook but does not work on
my desktop PC running 15.10.
Expected Results:
ctrl-alt-f1 should drop me into a terminal where I can login.
Actual Results:
ctrl-alt-f1 does nothing, and system continues to operate in normal unity mode.
