Proxmox Ubuntu VM has "graphical" console (lemmy.world)

This is kind of hard to explain, but hopefully it makes sense. I don't think a screenshot would help because everything "LOOKS" fine. But the characters in my Ubuntu VM console look funny. And I can't drag my mouse across the text to select it. Nor cacn I right-click. The console works fine, and I can run commands. I don't see the Ubuntu desktop, just this console. I don't even really need the desktop, but if it's there and I can start it up when I want it, that will be OK, but for now I would like to figure out how to get a regular console for this VM. Any ideas? Thanks, and sorry for the newb question!

That sounds normal, server linux has no GUI/Desktop, only a console.

To get a full CLI that you can select/copy/paste in you just need to SSH in, instead of using the Proxmox console.

The proxmox console is meant for rare usage like installing the OS and recovering from failures, it's not meant to be used as a daily way to interact with the VMs.
