Recently I input commands to run tor and popilo and ever since my command terminal opens but I can't input any code as it's just a blank black screen. Any help would be much appreciated as google could not.
Cheers!:D

Which terminal program? Does xterm work (alt-f2 for run dialog, enter 'xterm')?
I'm using gnome terminal and byobu neither of which will let me input codes.
When I press alt f2 the dash pops up. Ctrl alt f2 brings up a full screen terminal, xterm brings up lots of codes??
:(
Welcome to the Ubuntu Forums :-)
No, it is not xterm, but a text screen, that you can log in to an run 'any' command lines.
ctrl + alt + F7
will usually bring you back to the graphics screen.

Did you launch the commands with that particular terminal?
Can you open a new terminal that works with
ctrl + alt + t
Try to log out and log in again!
Reboot and see what happens!
Yes I used byobu and logging out and rebooting didn't change a thing. :(
What results from the key combination ctl+alt+t ???
ctrl -alt -t brings up gnome terminal and like byobu, I can't input any codes.
Go to a text screen with
ctrl + alt + F2
Purge gnome-terminal
and reinstall itCode:sudo apt-get purge gnome-terminal
Go to the graphics screen again and see if gnome-terminal will work. If not try after rebooting.Code:sudo apt-get install gnome-terminal
It could be that you simply have black text on a black background. Open the preferences of your terminal and check the colours.
Definitely not black text
