Can't write in terminal

Your text and background colors are both black. Go to Edit -> Profile Preferences. There, disable the "use colors from system theme".

If that worked you should check the colors of the system theme, but this is beyond the scope here.

    I've just installed Ubuntu 13.04 Gnome, 64 bits on my computer (keeping my old /home partition). But the providen gnome-terminal has a strange behaviour : it does not show me the prompt, and I can't write onto it !!!

    enter image description here

    Is it a bad installation issue or a bug ?

      What about trying another terminal emulator? And did you try to login the console at Ctrl+Alt+F1 or Ctrl+Alt+F2?

    Thank you very much :) I did not think about this possibility.
