• Download Ubuntu LTS version which is more stable.
• Follow this blog and create VM
  • https://www.windowscentral.com/how-run-linux-distros-windows-10-using-hyper-v
  • Enable "Virtualization Technology" and "Hardware Enforced Data Execution Prevention" on BIOS.
  • Check pre-requirement by systeminfo.exe
  • Enable Hyper-V by "Programs and Features" on Windows setting.
  • Create virtual switch.
  • Create Generation 2 VM.
  • Disable secure boot.
  • Add both Internal Virtual Switch and External Virtual Switch
• After install
  • Ubuntu
    • After first reboot, Ubuntu is hang at some point and I cannot fix it by reboot. It works after disabling wayland.
      • Disable Wayland https://askubuntu.com/questions/1085296/ubuntu-18-10-cosmic-not-starting-gnome-session-on-bootup
        • Press "Ctrl + Alt + F2" and login
        • sudo vi /etc/gdm3/custom.conf
        • Uncomment "#WaylandEnable=false"
    • Set IP in eth1 (I don't know how to make DHCP work yet)
      • Use ipconfig under Windows and check "Ethernet adaptor vEthernet".
      • Manual assign IPv4 address in Ubuntu. For example, if IP is "169.254.141.53" for Windows, assign "169.254.141.101" for Ubuntu.
      • Assign the same subnet mask. For example, "255.255.0.0".
    • Enable sshd.
  • Install developer tools
    • Google Chrome
    • Java
      • Zulu 8 and 11
      • Eclipse IDE
        • Properties editor
      • Apache Maven
      • Apache ActiveMQ
    • Azure
      • Visual Studio Code
      • Dotnet Core
      • Azure CLI
    • Containers
      • Docker CE
      • Docker Compose

Option 1:

• Follow this blog and set resolution by PowerShell command with "Run as Administrator":

get-vmvideo <vm name>
set-vmvideo <vm name> -horizontalresolution:2560 -verticalresolution:1600 -resolutiontype single

Option 2:

• Follow this blog and modify GRUB:
  • sudo nano /etc/default/grub
  • Append "video=hyperv_fb:1920x1080"
    • GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash video=hyperv_fb:1920x1080"
  • sudo update-grub
  • Reboot

If none of them work:

• Install xRDP (since enhanced session does not work for me yet).

• https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/virtualization/hyper-v/best-practices-for-running-linux-on-hyper-v

Check if Hyper-V integration services is installed?

sudo ps -ef | grep hv

Install the following packages

sudo apt-get install linux-virtual linux-cloud-tools-virtual linux-tools-virtual
sudo reboot

Check if hv-kvp-daemon works? If it fails, reinstall packages with the matching kernel version and remove mismatching packages.

# sudo systemctl status hv-kvp-daemon
