    Question I can't input code into command terminal

    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!

    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??

    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.
