Bug Description
With the fix of Bug #2015100, I can now install Lunar Lobster on Hyper-V. The issue is that when the system reboots after the install, there is no mouse or keyboard active on the logon screen. When I force a reboot, I can then use the mouse to click the username and use the keyboard to type in my password. When the system attempts to display the Home Page, I have no mouse and no keyboard and the system hangs before completely rendering the Home Page.
In closing Bug #2015100 it was suggested to use the 'nomodeset' option within the grub file. With this set, the system does reboot and is functional.
The issue is that this is a workaround since that option for the system is to bypass the screen settings and keep it in a default mode. Due to this, you can't adjust the screen size, the color depth, or any other screen settings you may want to set.
This behavior is new with Lunar Lobster. I have been running multiple instances of Ubuntu for years on Hyper-V and have had no issues. I am currently running instances of 22.04 for my stable machines, and have also used 22.10 a little, with no issues... meaning, IMHO that this is something due to the new installer not setting something up correctly, or there is a race condition when starting various processes.

Hi Kern,
You are right, I suggested 'nomodeset' as a workaround ; more than as a real fix.
I don't think there is anything that we can fix purely in subiquity (at least for now). So, I will mark incomplete and add 'ubuntu- desktop- installer' . Maybe they will have more suggestions.
One thing worth checking is whether doing a 23.04 install on hyper-v using the old installer leads to the same freezes after login.
We have daily builds available at:

Thanks,
Olivier
