How to get a HyperV Virtual Machine to go Full-Screen - Ubuntu/Linux

I've found an answer to this question, but no thanks to the answers left on another similar question. That question is locked, so I was not able to comment the solution.

If you're running a Linux virtual machine, such as Ubuntu:

  1. Launch the virtual machine and log in.
  2. Launch the Terminal
  3. Type: sudo nano /etc/default/grub
  4. Hit 'Enter' on your keyboard
  5. If you have an administrator password, type it in and hit 'Enter' on your keyboard.
  6. Your terminal should look like this:
  7. Using your arrow keys (<^v>), navigate down to the line that reads, "GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash", with your curser over the last double quote symbol (").
  8. Type: video=hyperv_fb:1920x1080
  9. Your terminal should look like this:
  10. Hit 'Enter' on your keyboard
  11. Press 'CTRL+x' on your keyboard
  12. Press 'Y' or 'y' to save
  13. Hit 'Enter' on your keyboard
  14. Type: sudo update-grub
  15. Hit 'Enter' on your keyboard
  16. Finally, to implement your results, reboot the vm by typing: init 6
  17. Hit 'Enter' on your keyboard
  18. Wait for your VM to reboot.

    Hi,

    I would like to throw this into a proper article with your permission.

    Its a great Article and a problem that is pretty annoying with Hyper-V for quite some time.

    Would you be ok with me creating an Article from this and linking to this post?

    Regards,

    LightJack
