Out of my personal experience, use can try the following command to activate the login prompt: (from another tty or ssh, etc.)

sudo systemctl restart getty@tty1.service

Hope that helps :)

Yup, that works. Thanks a lot! I wonder why it happens though, and how to go about debugging this. Probably a bug in how the login managers interact with xorg? For example if I set the default tty to tty7, even then it takes over tty1 and leads to a black screen. Regards, Siddhartha
