If you need to see the output of a terminal command you should not use Alt-F2 to startthe command, but open a terminal window.

Press ctrl-alt-t to open a terminal window
enter the command (e.g. "ufw status") and you will see the output.
enter "exit" or use the x button to close the terminal again.
