On occasion, pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1 does not reveal the tty input. Instead there is a single non-flashing horizontal cursor on a black screen.
Does it remain black indefinitely, or does a login prompt eventually appear?
It stays black indefinitely. I have waited for half a day before restarting just to see if it reappears.
Are ttys 2-5 also black screens except for cursor when this happens on tty1?
It's all of them, except for F7, which is the desktop.
In systemd installations I have seen similar quite often, though not necessarily predicably or reliably.
Same here. On booting up, everything seems normal, then after some time, I check back and nothing appears. It only occurs on my Asus UX31LA. My desktop never shows this issue.
