No tty for new 18.04

Question

I've just completed a fresh install of 18.04. An install of NVDIA drivers failed and now my resolution is 1024x768. I've attempted to go to a tty so I can install the drivers without the console running. However using CTl-ALT-F3 or F4 just bings me to a black screen with no prompt. I can get back to the GUI by using CTL-ALT-F2.

What can I do to get to a tty?

I had the problem only when nvidia driver was installed: bug report — jarno, Feb 16 '19 at 22:23
Try rebooting into recovery mode? It's one of the options on the GRUB menu. — Henk van der Laak, Feb 16 '19 at 23:32

It was the nvidia driver. Thanks Jamo. I followed this guide to remove it and now I can access the tty consoles.
