LightDM currently uses /dev/console for VT operations. In Ubuntu 16.04 this does not appear to work anymore. Switching to /dev/tty0 works, and this matches what logind and GDM use.

There doesn't seem to be any documentation on what the correct device to use for VT operations is, so matching other software is probably just reducing the risk of hitting bugs.
