My adventures with Ubuntu on Hyper-V. Part 3.

As I was forced to revisit my Hyper-V and Ubuntu configuration earlier this week, today I have decided to try run Ubuntu in fullscreen one more time. After searching the Internet I have found working solution on Ask Ubuntu. On my configuration it required two steps:

  1. Installing linux-image-extra-virtual package
    sudo apt-get install linux-image-extra-virtual
  2. Updating GRUB's configuration file (/etc/default/grub) by changing one line:
    GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash video=hyperv_fb:1680x1050" 
  3. Updating GRUB' configuration by executing the command:
    sudo update-grub
After rebooting Ubuntu I can finally use it in fullscreen mode!
