A virtual machine with Ubuntu, this system deployed on Hyper-V. And it is impossible to change the screen resolution using standard tools. But the necessary parameters can be set via the console (all commands are executed as root):
- Open grub settings: nano /etc/default/grub
- Search next line: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT and add video=hyperv_fb:1920×1080, where 1920×1080 – resoluton we need. We get:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash video=hyperv_fb:1920x1080" 3. Apply new settings by running the command update-grub
4. Reboot system
# sudo nano /etc/default/grub
# sudo update-grub
# sudo reboot
Very,nice. Thanks.
Solved problem of Linux Mint 18.3 Sylvia
Thanks that was extremely helpful
Thank you. This solved my issue. Is Hyper-V support higher resolutions?
Be careful with copy and paste. Instead of:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=”quiet splash video=hyperv_fb:1920×1080″
Use this:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=”quiet splash video=hyperv_fb:1920×1080″
Then why do u copy paste the same GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT value ?
you are right, the x is not the ascii one, so better type it.
Now my virtual machine doesn’t start at all…guess Linux still sucks.
