I've just installed Xmonad as my windows manager for Linux Mint 16. Its working fine except for one thing, there is no visible output when using terminal.
For example if I launch Firefox via terminal, the program loads up fine. However there is no output in terminal to show I have done this. Its as if the terminal output is being written in black rather than white.
Another example to more clearly illustrate my point, if I press the up arrow key, none of my previous executed input is shown.
I haven't touched any config files, its a clean install of Xmonad.
Any help would be appreciated. Again i've tried searching for the issue on Google but couldn't find anything.
SOLVED. Terminal was changing the output font to black due to the Xmonad settings. Solved by changing the terminal colour scheme to explicit white on black rather than system default.
