Looking at that screenshot, it looks like mprime is paused based on the line "Hit enter to continue:" that's showing up in the terminal.

Code:

	     Main Menu

	 1.  Test/Primenet
	 2.  Test/Worker threads
	 3.  Test/Status
	 4.  Test/Continue
	 5.  Test/Exit

You need to select option 4 for the work to actually commence. If you want to skip the menu, merely running mprime without the -m option (or mprime -d if you want screen output) will suffice. (I only run mprime on my server, where I keep it running as `./mprime -d` in a screen instance.)
