You need a command interpreter. The default image did not set one. See:

Or just sudo apt install konsole for a much better terminal

When I run qterminal in  xterm and with root privileges ( su qterminal ) I can see the prompt for qterminal .
If I only run qterminal ( in  xterm  ) I only see a black terminal with no prompt.

That is because toot has a shell set already, /bin/sh

If you are not comfortable editing system files, if you install Konsole, you can specify a startup command in its settings. Just use /bin/bash as your startup command and then use it.

Even if you  don't do that, Konsole will still run /bin/sh for you on its own.
