Failed to start Light Display Manager at boot

[Andrei0016]

Hi! I am trying to run a linux mint cinnamon vm in hyper-v but when I try to boot I get the error:



I did try to go into the terminal to the terminal and reinstall lightdm but no luck. Any idea what I can do or what went wrong?

Couple of questions:
What install method did you use?
Are you referring to the ISO failing to display, or is the system already installed to hyper-v?

I have had no problems with Ubuntu or Ubuntu based systems like Mint, the same for Debian stuff, only BSD gave me a problem on hyper-v. Download the ISO and install the system from the ISO file. Don't use any system or ISO pre-configured for hyper-v. A lot of the so called pre-configured stuff is too stripped down to work full DEs right out of the box. Install from the downloaded Mint ISO file just like you normally would to disk. Use the default internet connection in hyper-v settings, you can always change it later. Use enhanced session mode and set its policy.
