Hi Jack, What does: systemctl status systemd-vconsole-setup.service return ? And I assume that you try virtual console when working with Xwindows mode (as u mentioned ctrl/alt/1-7, and not with terminal console mode, right? Also, is it Fedora 25 ? (BTW, once it happened to me, quite a time ago, that the ctrl/alt/1..6 did not work, but ctrl/alt/7..14, not sure what was the reason.)
