This problem occurs when trying to boot a RaspiOS .img. It did not occur when booting a Raspbian .img.
Expected behavior:
Clicking the Terminal button opens a terminal.
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ appears and you can type in commands as normal.
Actual behavior:
Clicking the Terminal button opens a terminal.
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ DOES NOT APPEAR. Nothing appears when you try to type in something.
Initial suspicion was that vdesktop's /etc/profile was interfering. But disabling this function during testing made no difference.
Until this is fixed, if you need to run commands in the guest, it looks like the best option is to run your commands in the vdesktop console. (the host's terminal containing the boot text)
Turns out it had to do with /dev/pts and /dev/ptmx mountpoints. Removing these mountpoints fixes this issue.
