This is back in all its glory in Ubuntu GNOME 20160225.1 amd64. It boots to a screen showing tty1, then if you wait about 3 minutes the login screen appears and you can login with no password. I'll follow up with journalctl info later, right now I'm checking on more serious bugs.

I do notice some difference in behavior with different hardware. On these two sets of hardware the behavior is as described above:

(1) Intel Pentium Dual-Core E5300 @ 2.60GHz w/Intel GMA4500 Graphics
(2) Intel Atom 230 @ 1.60GHz w/Intel 82945G/GZ Graphics

On this third set of hardware I get the tty1 screen but all I have to do is wait a minute or so and booting to the live DE proceeds w/o ever displaying the login screen:

(3) AMD Sempron LE-1250 @ 2.2 GHz w/nVidia C61 [GeForce 7025 / nForce 630a]

As stated above this seemed to be fixed for a few builds but is sadly now back.
