how to change resolution on Ubuntu v14+ Guest in Hyper-v
Raw
hyper-v_ubuntu_resolution.txt
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 1280x720. So my line ends up looking like this:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash video=hyperv_fb:1280x720"
Write the changes and quit vi.
Run: sudo update-grub
Reboot the virtual machine
