Hi,
I found a similar problem at 1404 . if set console=ttys0 in cmdline , VT ioctls 
will fail and can't  switch user(Can't log in the original user) .

Hi all,


I've noticed in Xenial that VT ioctls that LightDM is using (VT_GETSTATE, 
VT_ACTIVATE, VT_WAITACTIVE) on /dev/console now seem to be failing (errno 5 - 
Input/output error). If I switch to /dev/tty0 they seem to work (this is what 
GDM and logind are using).


Two questions:

- Does anyone know what has changed that means these no longer work?

- What is the correct way to do these VT calls? Every time i try and work this 
out there seems to be no documentation anywhere and reading the kernel leaves 
me more confused.
