== Problem: Ubuntu running on Hyper-V doesn't appear to finish booting ==

In my case I got this cryptic message:

{{{
/dev/sda1: clean, w/x files, y/z blocks
}}}

And there it sits - doing nothing. To fix it do the following:

 1. Ctrl+Alt+F2 -> Hey, there is a login prompt here!
 1. Login
 1. sudo apt-get purge nvidia*
    a. Why? Not sure, but this has been the cause often
 1. sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall
    a. Yes, you do need an internet connection for this.
 1. reboot
    a. before rebooting, I actually went through the {{{apt update && apt upgrade}}} process.
