Unable to type in a terminal

rated 0 times [ 0] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 27627 / 2 Years ago, sat, december 25, 2021, 11:16:54

When I open a terminal no cursor appears, and no text, I just get a blank black screen. I am able to run commands by pressing Ctrl-Alt-F2.

I have minimal understanding of typing code etc. (Using Ubuntu 14.04 with Xfce interface.) Thank you if you're able to help.

Open Terminal and go to "Profile preferences" from main Edit menu in Terminal and check below configuration:

"Text color" and "Background color" with different color and also if you don't want custom color click on "Use colors from system theme" check box and then click close.
