Can I install Windows server and enble Hyper-V on a VM on Ubuntu 14.04 - ubuntu-14.04

Can I enable Hyper-V role on windows Guest OS(VM) running on Ubuntu 14.04.
I hitting with issue
Hyper-V cannot be installed: A hypervisor is already running.

This isn't possible to my knowledge. Xen and KVM don't support Hyper-V in a VM.
Hyper-V is a type 1 hypervisor. It runs on bare metal then runs the parent as if it's a privileged VM. We've been doing a lot of work recently around nested virtualization (link) on a Hyper-V host but nothing for Hyper-V on other hypervisors as of now.
Note: I work on the Hyper-V team at Microsoft.

Cannot install Android Emulator Hypervisor Driver for AMD Processors (installer)

Disabled HyperV via GUI as above.
Disable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Microsoft-Hyper-V
Then made sure via powershell via above.
Yet when running emulator-check.exe hyper-v:
hyper-v:
2
Hyper-V is enabled
hyper-v
I assume this is the issue. Virtualization is enabled. I have tried manually installing batch file (not in android studio). I have tried disabling Virtual Machine Platform and Windows Hypervisor Platform to install and that also didn't work (re-enabled after). CPU is AMD Ryzen 5 5625U with Radeon Graphics. Android Studio and the command were done with admin.
1st enable virtualization and hyper-v from your motherboard BIOS settings.
Then from the GUI enable the following:
Hyper-V
Virtual Machine Platform
Windows Hypervisor Platform
And after that restart your windows machine.
What fixed this, was turning Virtualization OFF in the BIOS and then ON again. After doing this mulator-check.exe hyper-v showed hyper-v to be not installed, which is the expected output. I was then able to install the driver in Android Studio as usual.

VMWare Workstation 11: Cant copy/cut/paste between my host Windows 7 and a guest Windows 10

I have a bad time trying to understand whythe copy/cut/paste between my host OS "Windows 7" and a Guest OS "Windows 10" don't work!
The feature works with other Guests (WS2012, WS2008 and Ubuntu distro) installed on the same VMWare.
I checked the vmtools, the latest version in installed.
Any hints/explanations how it works with some guests and no with others ?
What can I do to solve the issue ?
Thanks
just go to vertual machine setting and set connection type as bridge, if you it is in NAT or Host only network it might not work.

Hyper-V error. Running Windows Phone Emulator and VM in the same time (Windows 8)

I'm developling a WP8 application on my computer (OS : Windows 8).
I need to install a VM to have linux.
In the same time i need to use my Emulator of Windows Phone.
I downloaded VMWare and create a virtual machine, but i had this error :
VMware Workstation and Hyper-V are not compatible. Remove the Hyper-V role
from the system before running VMware Workstation.
I can't remove the Hyper-V because i need it, to use the Emulator of Windows Phone.
Maybe i didn't search well , but i only found solutions who will make me cut my Hyper-V. So it will not be possible to use my Emulator and my VM in the same time.
So, my question is : Is it possible to use my Emulator Windows Phone and in the same time to have a VM with linux who is running ?
No, you can't. You have two ways:
1) Install your Linux into Hyper-V
2) Turn Off Hyper-V, restart Windows, Use VMware. Then turn on Hyper-V, restart and use Windows Phone Emulator.
You can turn on or off Hyper-V from command line:
bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off

auto reboot SLES11 SP1 as a VM

I have a SLES11 SP1 (64bit) Linux installed as a VM with VMWare Player. I was trying to configure this Linux host for auto reboot after panic. For that, I added "kernel.panic=10" to /etc/sysctl.conf. After reboot, when the host panic'ed, it did not reboot automatically. Does anybody has an idea ?
I tried installing SLES11 SP1 (64bit) on ESXi server as well, but same result. I could not get it to autoreboot after panic.
I tried same settings with another distro (ubuntu 64bit), but these settings worked in that case.
If there is some other setting I need to do, please do let me know.
Thanks
For ESXi installation, you can trigger automatic reboot of guest virtual machine as follows:
Goto Configuration section -> Virtual machine startup/shutdown, and there you can add the virtual machine for automatic startup by clicking on 'Properties' button, so that it reboots automatically. You can also define 'Startup delay' and 'Shutdown delay' for both 'Automatic startup' and 'Manual startup'.

Is there a way to install windows server 2003 x64 over a VM?

I have been trying to install that but it produces an error saying that the processor is not compatible with x64. I tried VMWare Player and Microsoft Virtual PC. I also read about disabling virualization but it's not working.
By enabling virtualization from the BIOS setup of the main machine it worked!
