UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character #28

Hi everyone. I'm from Brazil and I don't speak English very well. So, I'm sorry for my poor English.

Well, I'm testing this wonderful tool and I'm having a little problem in a Virtual Machine:

"UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xf1' in position 29: ordinal not in range(128)"

I think that It is a problem with character in "VM description area", like "áéóãẽ" or "ñ". I already deleted all information on "description" area, but it still not working.

Can anyone help me?

Thank you.

These are currently not supported -- just pure ASCII letters, digits, hyphens and dashes. Host names can include the space character, but it is not recommended.
