I ran into the same problem yesterday with my fresh Ubuntu Gnome 16.10
on my HP EliteBook 840 G4.
Alt + F1-F6 switched virtual terminals and Ctrl + Alt + F1-F6 did nothing.
And strangely Gnome was running on tty1. A

   #sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup

helped me out. I set "UTF-8" and "Latin2".
Now everything is working fine.
Just Gnome is still running on tty1.
