Do you have an update for RHEL9 VMs?

[dcfsc]

I have tried using this on RHEL9.4 VMs in Hyper-V on an Azure Virtual Desktop for work and the clipboard does not work. A GUI VM without a clipboard to the host is basically useless. FYI the graphics performance is pretty bad too. The mouse is very sloppy and laggy. An Ubuntu 22.04 VM installed using Quick Create is snappy and perfect. Sigh.

Hello, i will try to make it work for RHEL 9 this week.

Hello, i will try to make it work for RHEL 9 this week.

I would be happy to try anything out. Some guidance on uninstalling the RHEL8 packages if necessary would be helpful.

Hello, i created a PR with RHEL9 support. It works on my side. If you wish to test on your side, i'll wait until your approval ;)

Going thru the install:

PS C:\Windows\system32> net localgroup "Hyper-V Administrators" "myid"
The syntax of this command is:

NET LOCALGROUP
[groupname [/COMMENT:"text"]] [/DOMAIN]
              groupname {/ADD [/COMMENT:"text"] | /DELETE}  [/DOMAIN]
              groupname name [...] {/ADD | /DELETE} [/DOMAIN]

are we missing the /ADD option?

There are items like This script is only for Rhel 8 or Centos 8 OS. Is that the case still? Is RHEL9 supported? Apologies if the README is still under development.

Looks like the net localgroup was fixed in another branch. Great!

The clipboard in RHEL9 is still not accepting items from the host AVD. I did notice that the xrdp daemon is running on port 3390 instead of 3389 (since the Remote Desktop session from my home box to the Azure Virtual Desktop is also using the 3389 port, and ports are shared due to the networking).

If the port is different, would something else need to be configured?

/etc/xrdp/xrdp.ini

port=vsock://-1:3390

Also, pasting from the Hyper-V "Type Clipboard Text" results in text like:

=ddddc or =m,bb=+d=ddb/vb/vmbm.xd

IS there a log anywhere I can try to debug events such as clipboard?

I realize the AVD environment is pretty different from a hardware host running HyperV, with nested virtualization and all. So this may never work.

For the /ADD you got the answer :) For This script is only for Rhel 8 or Centos 8 OS., i need to change it.

Are you able to size the VM window as you wish ?

Using the Displays applet of RHEL9 Settings I am able to change the screen resolution nicely.

Interestingly, it prompts to revert the settings for 15 seconds. If I accept revert, it logs me out.

[EtienneBarbier]

Hum, do you have this prompt when you are connecting to the VM ?

[EtienneBarbier]

I have no idea if it works with another port configured for xrdp. I did'nt found anything about this topic. It may require a modification on Hyper-V side, but i don't know which.

[dcfsc]

I did notice that. It looks like the box for Remote Desktop. I am using the UI for HyperV, not remote desktop. My interface looks like:

Actually, I cannot connect to the VM using RDP from the host. Tried ip:3390 and error.

Okay so Enhanced Session Mode is not activated in your screenshot. If ESM is activated, you should have this icon not grayed

I tried locally to change the port of xrdp (with new port open in firewall) and it did'nt work. Looks like Hyper-V scan only port 3389 to initiate RDP.

Maybe because it cannot talk to the VM.

With an Azure Virtual Desktop the port is locked down to 3389, so I guess this is done. Strange that an Ubuntu 22 VM works perfectly when you choose it from a "quick create". I wish RedHat would make the experience as nice. Thanks for your effort.
