(Yet) undefined error message superimposed on VNC console

Hello!

I just tried to set up another VM on Proxmox VE 1.8 and am getting a strange superimposed error (?) message. When I try to press a few buttons, I end up with the second screen I attached to this post.

Does anyone know what this is about?

I have a few other VMs running and I can access them via the VNC console without this error. I originally thought I was working with an old Ubuntu image or that it was related to me running 10.7 on my local machine. But it turns out it's neither of those.

UPDATE:
It seems the error has to do with the name of the VM: when I name with a "vm-" I get the above error. When I call it something else, I don't get the error.

UPDATE 2:
Nope, still getting the error. Something about the naming doesn't seem to work right.

UPDATE 3:
It was me not reading what it says in the screen... the RAM allocation was in MB not in GB. So, giving your VM 1 MB of RAM will result in the above error...


CASE SOLVED.

did you set the right keyboard layout for KVM (see Configuration/System/Options: keyboard layout)?
 
Hi Tom!

Thanks for your reply! Proxmox is working just fine... t'was my inability to read the unit...
