#LINUX MINT CHANGE RESOLUTION HOW TO#
I was able to get this scenario to work, but it required creating scripts to disable Hyper-V and then rebooting the machine to switch between the two visualization platforms.Īfter doing some research I found that it was possible to get the virtual machine to boot up with your desired resolution with a little modification to your grub file, here’s how to make it happen. In particular they clash around the virtual network adapters. Running either of these platforms along side Hyper-V is difficult due to compatibility issues. If you think you might try VMware or Virtual Box along side your Hyper-V installation, think again. Unfortunately I wasn’t having any luck finding what I was looking for. I began scouring the web for the Hyper-V equivalent of the VMware Tools.

After poking for a while inside Linux trying to get the resolution set to 1920×1080 I decided that surely I needed virtual display drivers much like I have used in the past with VMware. (This is definitely workable, but it is annoying).

The obvious thing to do then is to create your VM in Hyper-V, but that results in a virtual machine running in a window or 1152×864 which is a little annoying on a 1920×1080 display. Once you install Visual Studio 2012/2013/2015 with all the bells and whistles (specifically the tooling to support Windows Phone development) you end up with Hyper-V installed and configured on your system to support the Windows Phone simulators.

NET developer running Windows 10 I had just about given up running Linux in a virtual machine on my development machines.
