Bug Description

I recently upgraded to Ubuntu 20.10 from 20.04 and now the "Switch User" functionality is gone. This is a HUGE issue as it completely breaks multi-user functionality.

Likely it's related to this bug:

There's even more broken. I tried logging on into tty2 with the second account and then use startx to start a second session. This immediately makes the first session unusable. Switching back to screen 1 just shows a black screen.

This way, the system is completely unusable.

Downgrading to systemd 245 helped. Of course that's only a temporary solution.
