[Bug 1181388] Re: no tty login prompts, ctrl-alt-f* fails

[sublime]

I had a similar issue.  My fix was:
sed -i -e 's/#GRUB_TERMINAL/GRUB_TERMINAL/g' /etc/default/grub
update-grub

Title:
  no tty login prompts, ctrl-alt-f* fails

Status in “shadow” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Whent installing 64 bit server 13.04 I noticed I could not log on to
  the server directly. Booting the system ends in the server displaying
  boot messages, but no login: prompt. None of the other tty screens
  seem available.

  The system seems to fail any of the tty[1-6] screens and/or does not
  open a login service on them.

  shown in 13.04 right after install and after updates.

  I could access the system since I've installed openssh server.
