Since I upgraded to Ubuntu 10.10 two days ago the problem has
disappeared. I have no idea why.

Title:
ctrl-alt-f1..f6 drops to blinking cursor; n
Since moving to Ubuntu 10.04 I cannot switch to a tty by pressing Ctrl-
Alt-F[1-6]. My problem looks exactly like bug 447692 but is
fundamentally different, as 447692 can be cured by deactivating usplash,
which does not make any difference on my computer. Now I thought this
here was my problem, tho
Oh man I've been wanting to fix this for over a year now. Followed
jcoffland's instructions with startupmanager and *FINALLY* have my TTY's
working decently.
Thanks!

I can confirm that the above fix worked for me too:
Ubuntu 9.04
Intel T7500
NVidia driver versions 172, 180 and 185
To make things a little clearer you run:
sudo apt-get install startupmanager
sudo startupmanager
Then change the display resolution to 1024x768 with a 24bit depth as

Same problem.
Ubuntu 9.04
amd64
NVidia 180.44
Text consoles are back after changing boot display resolution, as said
by Steve McInerney.
I switched via 'Startup Manager' to using '1024x768' for the display resolution
with 24bits colour depth.
This added vga=792 to menu.lst.

ctrl-alt-f1..f6
I believe your boot command line addition of:
vga=791
fixes an unrelated problem. I have used the same fix on other systems
to fix the console display during boot up.
I am also running the NVIDIA restricted driver which seems to be the
source of the "borked" console problem. I've tried sever
Switching the console to a framebuffer mode, with, e.g.
vga=791
in grub's menu.lst works around this for me, in that I can see my TTYs
again. As soon as xorg starts with the nvidia restricted drivers, a text
mode TTY is borked though; so not a fix.

I also have this bug, running Jaunty, kernel: 2.6.28-11-generic, x86-64,
nvidia driver 180.44 on 2 x GeForce 9400GT. It seems to be Xorg/driver
related. If I stop gdm from starting automatically, then the TTYs work
fine. When X11 is running, if I try to switch to a TTY (ctrl-alt-f1 etc)
I get a bla
I still have this problem after an upgrade to Jaunty.

Having exactly the same problem describe in the initial post ever since
I upgraded from hardy to Intrepid with gnome and an nvidia card. I also
have dual monitors. I doubt it is kernel related.

Sorry to keep sending you email but I wanted to update you on kdm vs gdm. I
have the problem with both.

Sorry - I have NVIDIA. If I CTL-ALT-F1 - only, I get the blinking cursor. I
need a command line without X-server running to install the latest NVIDIA
drivers. I am running on a Dell with an Intel Core2 Duo 2.4 Ghz 2G RAM,

Am wondering if possibly relevant - are we all using ATI video hardware?
ATM this is working for me, but if I CTL-ALT-F1 - only, I get immediately
bounced back into X.
Repeat the C-A-F1 and get a console login prompt. Do a C-A-F2 and don't get the
bouncing behaviour - straight to the prompt. Wei

Yay. This is now working as at kernel 2.6.27-7.11-generic - assuming this
is/was in fact a kernel problem...
Just rebooted about 2 hours ago with this (and other updates) and is all ok
again.
