However, herein lies my problem: even exploring these issues(s) presumably requires access to a terminal on the Ubuntu VM - but I can't connect to the Ubuntu VM - so it seems like I can't get access to a terminal to even try to fix things. Or the problem may relate to the 'system program problem detected' error, which unfortunately I didn't look closely at when I had the chance. Error/problem connecting (Windows 10 RDP into XRDP)) and solutions generally suggest issues with xrdp. I see that others have had similar blue-screen problems (e.g. Sending login info to session manager, please wait. But after entering my username and password, the connection hangs on the blue screen, then eventually pops up this error: connecting to sesman ip 127.0.0.1 port 3350 From the Hyper-V manager, I can shut down and start the VM (successfully, according to Hyper-V), and when I try to connect, I get the xrdp login screen. However, since the VM restarted, I haven't been able to connect to it. Then I meant to shut down the VM from the terminal, but I accidentally rebooted it instead - wrong muscle memory, probably not important. I used top to make sure the right process had been killed. Maybe importantly, while this process was still running, I had canceled a 'system program problem detected' popup (then promptly forgot about it, of course).Īfter killing the problematic process, the session seemed fine.

Today on the VM I had to kill a model process that had been set up wrong and was running too long and filling the virtual hard drive. Everything has worked fine over several months of regular use. I use Hyper-V on Windows 10 to run an Ubuntu 20.04 VM, which I only need in order to run some models for work. I'm only a casual Ubuntu user and I'm new to managing my own virtual machine, so I'm hoping I'm missing something obvious.
