It doesn't look like there is much difference between LXC and OpenVZ, in
that they both add a few calls into the Linux kernel in order to be able
to have a barrier between processes running in different VMs.  Whether
one is more lightweight than the other, I don't have the skills to
determine.

Did you use the Ubuntu containers from here:

They have always worked for me on Proxmox, though, you have to change
the filename and make sure they are in the directory that Proxmox
expects them to be in.
