Changing Ubuntu Screen Resolution in a Hyper-V VM

By March 7, 2015IT Solutions

Open Terminal

Type: sudo vi /etc/default/grub
Find the line starting with GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT, and add video=hyperv_fb:[the resolution you want]. The resolution I want is 1280×720. So my line ends up looking like this: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=”quiet splash video=hyperv_fb:1280×720″

Write the changes and quit vi.

Run: sudo update-grub

Reboot the virtual machine
