How can I get Hyper V to detect my Ubuntu VM's IP Address
Ok, I figured this one out.
The tl;dr version:
sudo apt-get install "linux-cloud-tools-$(uname -r)"
Normally you'd install linux-cloud-tools-virtual
to get the KVP daemon installed. Unfortunately, the kernel version that ships with Ubuntu 14.04.3 is 3.19.0-25-generic
, whereas linux-cloud-tools-virtual
installs the cloud tools for 3.13.0-65-generic
. So obviously you need to install the cloud tools for your kernel's release version. To do that automatically you need to get your relase version using uname -r
, as above.
Hope that helps somebody somewhere along the line.
seems like for 18.10 the sudo apt install linux-cloud-tools-virtual
is what is needed again
