Bug Description

We found the login console, like tty1, can't show up when we did below command in 18.04.1.

$ sudo systemctl isolate multi-user.target
or
$ sudo init 3

After above command, it will show a cursor with black screen.

I could switch to tty1 with 'Ctrl+Alt+F1', and login into system.

$ sudo systemctl isolate graphical.target
or
$ sudo init 5

It could show the login GUI.
