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.

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".
