Cannot install Garuda Linux in Hyper-V as a guest-VM. Black screen

Katzenviech · 19 January 2021 21:30

After the boot splash screen when booting from ISO image (dragonized) I only get a black screen.
Things I have tried: Used VM Generation 1 and 2 (2 was worse), different HDD controllers (SCSI, IDE) and different virtual hard drives.
I cannot start-x or start-kde oder plasma or anything.
Tried to update with sudo pacman -Syyu and tried to start desktop .... nothing.
Set video driver as additional option video=hyperv_fb:800x600 .... no luck.
Used free and non-free drivers ... black screen.
Checked inxi -Fxxxza ... the driver shows correct to be Microsoft Hyper-V virtual VGA driver: hyperv_fb.
checked dmesg ... detected virtualization microsoft, detected correct architecture... no severe errors.
Maybe this is an issue because Hyper-V manager makes a connection via RDP?
I have no problem in running ubuntu on hyper-v (Desktop or bare with zsh)

Any ideas?

Installing on virtual machines is not recommended as it might result in a bad experience.

You checked but it would be nice to post here as text no pictures, please.

Katzenviech · 19 January 2021 21:44

.... yes, it results in bad experience. Maybe I try it with KVM. But not today
Thanks anyways.

Use the resolution only. Try a few, although the general compatible is 1024x768.

video=1024x768

Using video=1024x768 did not help.

When using "nosplash" I can see the start messages though.
It seems to hang on: Starting Terminate Plymouth Boot Screen...

I can't even ssh into the VM (still running on Live). So I cannot copy-pasta my results here.

When changing to tty2 I see fish: Job 2, "paleofetch" terminated by signal SIGSEGV (Address boundary error). I don't know what paleofetch is, but SIGSEGV seems to be some kind of segmentation fault or overflow. Guess it is only a process that terminated.

I don’t really understand the purpose of running Garuda in a Windows VM - why are you doing this, and why not use a standard Arch-based distro given you won’t benefit from the various hardware-focussed optimisations Garuda provides?

tbg · 20 January 2021 05:10

Well it's Windows, and for some people it's like being addicted to smack, and they just can't get that monkey off their back. Ouch.

Katzenviech · 20 January 2021 17:07

I am just curious if this works. I agree Windows and docker / vm are a real pain. But I like virtualization and like to automate things. E.g. build a shared-dll using CMake on Linux and run it on windows. I will try further and let you know if I can make it work

CPU-specific things are highly unlikely to work in a VM.

I had some success now with

pacman -Sy
pacman -Sy xf86-video-fbdev
systemctl restart sddm

It is showing the install screen now. I will try to use the MS Enhanced Session mode if an installation was successful.

It is showing now -- virtual machine install is not recommended --
