Something a little weird with Ghost 16.1
Just installed Ghost yesterday in a Proxmox container, everything pretty generic/default. I haven't done anything with it yet and last night I had a Proxmox console open sitting at the confconsole screen. When I went to bed, I closed my browser and clicked "leave page" when it asked about the Ghost console. This morning I went into Proxmox and clicked on the Ghost console and saw all this:

Only thing I can make of it is maybe I need to go in and configure the terminal size or something, or try one of the other terminal types in Proxmox. I haven't looked at it yet, but I've never seen anything like that with any of the TKL appliances, so thought I'd sent it on up. :)

Loading confconsole back up,
Reply 1That can happen if the window size is changed to be too small
Reply 2As you guessed from the output, the issue is the terminal size. However, that usually doesn't occur unless the terminal window is resized.
My guess is that when you clicked "leave page" in your browser, Proxmox resized the "console"window and it was too small for Confconsole to redraw the 'Ok" message cleanly?!
As you noticed, if you restart Confconsole, it works fine. That is until you resize the console window too small... Note that you may not be able to do that in your browser Proxmox console window (perhaps? I haven't tested TBH). But if you SSH in (via an SSH client) in and run Confconsole within that, then resize the SSH client window, you will definitely be able to recreate the issue.
FWIW, I've opened an issue to handle this scenario a bit more gracefully.
Yeah I use the NoVNC window quite a bit myself...
Reply 3Yeah I use the NoVNC window quite a bit myself but I can't make it error like that?! When I resize the main window (as per your screenshot) it just scales the NoVNC window (not the resolution but the size - i.e. if I make the window small, the font is so small I can't read the text anymore). If click the button to open a new window, that will auto (re)size. If I try to resize it it snaps back to the preset size?! I can only reproduce the issue when using a terminal (i.e. log in via SSH).
I wonder if it's the web browser you are using? FWIW I use Chrome (or chromium based browser). So perhaps you are using Firefox and it acts differently? Actually my Proxmox is out of date, so perhaps it's an issue that only occurs on newer Proxmox version?
I can't remember which
Reply 4I can't remember which console I opened. (I'll try to do better next time) :) If you click console over on the left in the Proxmox menu under summary, it opens a NoVNC window internally to the Proxmox browser window. If you click on console over on the top right by the shutdown button, it opens a NoVNC window in a separate QEMU browser window. I don't know if that has anything to do with it or not. Looking at my screenshot, when I reloaded it the next morning it appears I clicked on the left, but I don't remember which one I got the error message in. Anyway, if it's just complaining about terminal size, I can deal with that. :)
Doh! Just did something
Reply 5Doh! Just did something similar in my Dokuwiki container:
I've just started with Proxmox and I'm basically using all defaults on everything. Is this something that'd be more easily configured in Proxmox that'd work with everything versus you guys making changes on the TKL end?
Loading confconsole back up, it comes up ok....
