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.)

Regards,
Rami Rosen
