Ubuntu – Mouse Problems with Ubuntu in Hyper-V

hyper-vUbuntu

I have installed Ubuntu in one of my virtual machines of Hyper-V.

Mouse doesn't work in the guest operating system and I get the following exception.

[Window Title]
Virtual Machine Connection

[Main Instruction]
Mouse not captured in Remote Desktop session.

[Content]
The mouse is available in a Remote Desktop session when integration services are installed in the guest operating system. For more information, search on 'integration services' in Help.

[ ] Please don't show me this again  [OK]

Can someone guide me if you have tried it? If it is possible to make it work, please let me know.
Please do consider that I am very new to Ubuntu and linux environments.

Synthetic Mouse Support is not included in the Hyper-V Linux integration components. There are references in the older, separate builds of the integration components (2.1) for the Citrix Project Satori Web site at http://www.xen.org/products/satori.html

Unfortunately, the setup for these drivers do not work with the current Hyper-V integration components that are included with the Linux kernel.
