Paperspace setup help

(@dillon : I was about to publish this post when I received your direct message but as my problem can concern other people of the group of Brasilia, I guess it is better to discuss in this thread. Thank you very much.)

Hi @dillon e @reshama,

@lucasosouza and I are 2 of the coorganizers of the Deep Learning Brasilia Study Group (Brazil). We started this week the course fast.ai (part 1) with about 100 participants in Brasilia.

As @jeremy showed it in the first video, we enhanced our group to use PaperSpace for running the Fast.ai jupyter notebooks.

Then, I firstly published a post with a link to this thread “Paperspace setup help” and a link to the guide “step by step instructions on the whole process - PaperSpace for fast.ai”.

I tried it myself but after completing successfully the Part III, it was impossible to get my machine worked in PaperSpace : from https://www.paperspace.com/console/machines, I launch my machine; the terminal is launched but turns indefinitely without giving me the possibility to type in; therefore, I can not run the “Part IV: Paperspace & Jupyter Notebook”.

After that, my colleague @lucasosouza found the fast.ai PaperSpace script (http://files.fast.ai/setup/paperspace) and published a post explaining that using this script is the right procedure. And, YES, this script works !

So, I need some explanations : why using the fast.ai public template does not work (I’m in Brasilia) ? the Fast.ai PaperSpace guide is out of date ? Or, there is another reason ?

Thanks for answering because we have a group of about 100 people (and more in Brasilia) which needs your help and advice.

There is no reason I can think of that connections from Brazil wouldn’t work. Can you check the javascript console to see if there are any errors? Also are you running an adblockers or other scripts in the browser that might interfere? I would also try in “incognito mode” in Chrome to see if its a browser issue.

I’m using Chrome (Version 65.0.3325.181 (Build officiel) (64 bits)) and my Ubuntu 16.04 machine with the Fast.ai script works well. Not my machine from the Fast.ai Public Templates. As said, when I launch this machine, the terminal is launched but turns indefinitely without giving me the possibility to type in.

I do not run an adblockers or other scripts in the browser.
I get a console error :

Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token e in JSON at position 1
at JSON.parse ()
at t.Storage.Local.onStorage_ (psterminal.js:19)

Hope it helps. Thanks @dillon

Hi! I am, as many others, waiting for my approval (4 days now). I’m part of the Brasilia Fast.ai group. Please help…

@dillon, I’ve submitted my “application” in order to get a GPU machine last week but didn’t get any response until now and the “Unavailable” window keeps popping up. Is there anything that I could do? My login is hissashirocha@gmail.com. Thanks!

Dear @dillon, could you kindly approve my paperspace request?

Thanks for the code! Claimed it. Enjoy your $15.

My promo/referral code for Paperspace is: B8FL9FB

@dillon I have just started the MOOC. Created a PaperSpace Account and opted for EastCost and Fast.ai Template. I would also opt for P5000 GPU machine. Please provide approval for my account raymond070192@gmail.com

@dillon I have just started the MOOC and opted for a machine in Europe . I have been waiting for an approval for 2.5 days, is there any way that you can get my request approved?

@dillon I have just started the MOOC. Created acct on West Coast. Tried to select fast.ai template. Requested approval. Can you please expedite? Email ends with srail.net.

(BTW I’m in California.)

Hi, @dillon! Could you please help me get my request approved? I’m with the Brasilia Deep Learning study group and my email is rocha.fabiano@gmail.com. Thanks!

@Fabiano It looks like you were approved just a few minutes after submitting this. Enjoy!

@srail You should be all set!

@Raymond It looks like you were approved shortly after you made the request. Let me know if you’re seeing something different.

Hey everyone, if you need another referral code, here’s mine:

code: 706S3IO
direct link

This gives you $10 on top of the $15 you get from using FASTAI3BDG (I think).

Disclaimer: I also get $15 if you use the code.

Hello people,

I am trying to setup the machine on paperspace using the Fastai template. I got it approved and also got the password but when I put in my password it says

packet_write_wait: Connection to xx:xx:xx:xx port 22: broken pipe

Can you please tell me what should I do in this case, i also tried to access it using different networks but dosen’t work. Any solutions would be appreciated.

Regards,
Sahil Karkhanis

Thanks a lot. Everything works fine. Really a great and fast service you guys are providing. My Apologies for late reply.

Hi @dillon. Requesting approval of my request, which has been pending since yesterday, for the fast.ai template. My credit card is already linked and my email starts with uma.dayal. Thanks!

Hi all! About how long is fast.ai template approval taking these days on Paperspace?

Thanks!
