There are number of problems with this approach though. There you just type in your credentials and, voila, you have an active Hyper-V Virtual Machine Connection in enhanced session mode (which you can tell based on active “Basic session” icon): Wizard downloads image and configures VM for you and once you click on connect you will be presented with standard Ubuntu configuration wizard (keyboard, region, user name and password etc.):Īs soon as you finish configuration, you will be presented with logon screen along with display configuration pop up window (which already tells us that we about to enter into enhanced session), and after clicking Connect in “Display Configuration” pop up you will see XRDP login window: I did a quick test and indeed this approach can get you up and running with Ubuntu Hyper-V VM just in a few clicks (see screenshots below).
Quick google search revealed that getting enhanced session enabled is a no brainer if you used Hyper-V optimized image from Hyper-V Quick Create Gallery (feature available starting from Windows 10 build 1709 aka Fall Creators Update). Because of that I have started to explore ways to enable Hyper-V enhanced session or RDP type of connectivity for my Ubuntu Server virtual machine (the latter was on my to do list in any case). As I used Hyper-V virtual machine, I very quickly realized that I am missing Hyper-V enhanced session features, and especially copy-paste between Hyper-V host and Ubuntu Server VM. In my previous article I covered installation of AMP stack on Ubuntu Server 18.04.02 (aka Bionic Beaver).
