Public bug reported: On Ubuntu 16.04 Cinammon, systemctl isolate multi-user.target hangs the system. I've tried editing the multi-user.target file as a snippet, or the whole thing, but with no fix. The system flashes a very momentary prompt to login as a single user without a GUI, but then the screen goes black and the system is hung. Same on Linux Mint 18. systemctl isolate multi-user.target works successfully on OpenSuse Leap 42.1, and CentOS 7, as I tested the command on these other systems to check. The glaring difference I noticed is that in the multi-user.target unit file, AllowIsolate and CanIsolate is set to yes in the other Linux systems, but to no in Ubuntu.
