Title:
  No virtual terminals and NAutoVTs=6 setting ineffective

Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  This is not the same bug as #1758512 - that bug is about an
  unresponsive key combination, this bug is reproducible without
  pressing any key-combination.

  Reproduce:

  Using Ubuntu 19.10. Manually modified /etc/systemd/logind.conf by
  uncommenting this:

  [Login]
  NAutoVTs=6
  ReserveVT=6

  According to man logind.conf  this would result 6 virtual terminals
  spawned.

  
  Bug behaviour:

  Reboot and run

  $ sudo fgconsole --next-available
  3

  Expected:

    Given I've configured 6 auto virtual terminals this number should be
  higher than 6.

  Bug behaviour

  Reboot and run:
  $ sudo chvt 3

  Got a screen with a black background and a single blinking cursor at
  upper left corner

  Expected:

    Seeing a login prompt
