I have successfully installed Kali Linux on Hyper-V. The problem is that the OS doesn't take the whole screen. It takes only part of it. How to make Kali Linux run on full screen (physical)?

In /etc/default/grub change GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=”quiet” to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=”quiet splash video=hyperv_fb:your_resolution″ for me it was GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=”quiet splash video=hyperv_fb:1920×1080″. Save file then run sudo update-grub and restart.

If this doesn't work on Hyper-v (You will see this message briefly on during boot process "hyperv_fb screen option is invalid"

Run the following command in Powershell as administrator on Windows host:

*set-vmvideo -vmname <NameOfVM> -horizontalresolution:2560  -verticalresolution:1440 -resolutiontype single*

  • Thanks for that! For 4K: Set-VMVideo -VMName myVM -HorizontalResolution:3840 -VerticalResolution:2160 -ResolutionType Single - For some reason, I cannot scale to 2x... – 1nternetz Apr 23 '21 at 09:11
  • This is THE answer! Changing `/etc/default/grub` doesn't help on Kali-2021.3, but `set-vmvideo -vmname NameOfVM -horizontalresolution:1920 -verticalresolution:1200 -resolutiontype single` does – Amel Oct 15 '21 at 17:51

I think you can do it with this:

sudo nano /etc/default/grub

Edit:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=”quiet”

Change to

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=”quiet splash video=hyperv_fb:1920×1080"

Finally:

sudo update-grub

Then

sudo reboot
