Can not run any of the cells in the notebook

Part 1 (2018)

Hi, I am signed into Colaboratory with my gmail account. I loaded the Fastai lesson1 notebook and saved it to my Google Drive. But I can not run any of the cells in the notebook.

I click File > Open recent, and the notebook is loaded from Google Drive.

When I try to run any of the cells in the notebook I get the message:

Running read-only notebooks is not supported.

How can I run the notebook cells?

Thanks

Allow edits to be made in your notebooks…

File permissions…

In Colaboratory in the File menu, I do not see a sub-menu for: permissions

I do not see File permissions listed in any of the menus.

Where can change the setting to Allow edits to be made in my notebooks?

Thanks

  • https://github.com/ipython/ipython/issues/8323(preferably the last comment)

  • If you are going for a console command it would be: chmod -R 777 /xyz(concerned directory with all notebooks). (This assumes you are in the directory where you have xyz as a sub directory or folder…)The -R makes it recursive.(applied it to all files…
    Generally people don’t want this…)

In In Colaboratory I tried the method below from the link you provided:

Select all cells in command mode (Ctrl and Down), (Ctrl+Shift+A)

Ctrl+C to copy all cells.

Open new notebook.

Ctrl+V to paste the copied cells.

But when I try to Open new notebook (New Python 3 notebook) if fails with this error message:

Notebook loading error
There was an error loading this notebook. Ensure that the file is accessible and try again.

When I try to Open Drive notebook, and select a copy of a notebook it crashes with the same error message above.

When I change permissions on my Linux PC using chmod -R 777 then upload the file it crashes with the same error message above.

What else can I try?

Thanks
