Title:
  Ctrl+Alt+F* not switching to a text prompt, only between graphical
  sessions

Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  After boot and logging in to a Ubuntu (Wayland) session, loginctl
  correctly reports:

  >  loginctl            
  >    SESSION        UID USER             SEAT             TTY             
  >         c1        110 gdm              seat0            /dev/tty1       
  >          2       1000 michal           seat0            /dev/tty2       
  > 
  > 2 sessions listed.

  Also no gettys are started:
  >  systemctl status getty* 
  > ● getty.target - Login Prompts
  >    Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/getty.target; static; vendor preset: enabled)
  >    Active: active since Thu 2017-11-23 18:03:33 CET; 56s ago

  >            http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/serial-console.html

  A Ctrl+Alt+F3 later, there's a getty:

  >  systemctl status getty*
  > [...]
  > ● getty at tty3.service - Getty on tty3
  >    Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/getty at .service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)

  >  Main PID: 9838 (agetty)

  >    CGroup: /system.slice/system-getty.slice/getty at tty3.service
  >            └─9838 /sbin/agetty --noclear tty3 linux

  But I'm still seeing by vt2 session, and get no text login prompt.

  I've dual screens and this started happening when I upgraded to the
  17.10 Ubuntu session way back when.
