    The first part is known bug. What happens assuming you started in
    terminal 1 that when you type init 3 the system changes to another
    terminal window. One person suggested it is terminal 8. But usually
    you can get back in sync by typing ctrl-alt-f2 and
    then ctrl-alt-f1 again.
    Often just typing ctl-alt-f1 again works.
    You can try ctl-alt-f8.

    If none of that works then you have a real other problem. I am not
    sure I have been of much help.
