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.

incase of command execution from WSL, once cursor is above INSERT command or even when the cursor doesn't appear, directly gets copied from clipboard so just copy the command that you want to type and place the cursor. This happens when you add or edit contents of a file within a corresponding path. Example: [ansadmin@DESKTOP-M6D3UNM myproject]$ vi ansible.cfg

~within this file, i was unable to type or edit, i entered the below command to notepad, copied it and once i place the cursor, auto pasted from clipboard and saved using esc and by :wq!

[defaults] inventory=./inventory host_key_checking=False

To resolve this cursor visible issue, please open a terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T) and use the following command.

gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.cursor active false

After executing the above command please check whether the cursor issue resolved. If still this issue persist, go to "settings - displays - disable unknown display".

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

enter image description here

"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.
