ramfb makes me think you are not running an official Proxmox VE on a 64-bit AMD or Intel CPU: https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/pve-admin-guide.html#_system_requirements ?
Where did you download your "Proxmox" and maybe the people who created the fork can provide support for it?

Then I cannot explain by your pull-down menu is missing SPICE and includes ramfb. What is the output of

vmgenid: ba4edee2-cad1-4780-8b3a-7572f01386b6As a work-around, you could change this to
vga: qxl (via nano /etc/pve/qemu-server/103.conf). I have no idea why your Proxmox web GUI displays ramfb and not SPICE. Did you make changes or apply patches to the web GUI in the past?
