Hey everyone, I’m on Lesson 1. I tried running the first cell and it’s showing me this error message
and this popup .
This is the cell I’m running
The fastai version is 2.3.0 and I’m running it on Jupyter Notebook via Paperspace.
Can anyone help?
and this popup .
Welcome to the fastai forums!
The warning says your system has no NVIDIA drivers, which most certainly implies you’re using a CPU instead of a GPU.
Please follow the instructions here for properly setting up Gradient for the fastai lessons.
Have a nice weekend!
Hey Bob, thanks for replying! I tried selecting a GPU and it seems like it’s not available currently.
No problem! I think in some areas, you cannot get free GPUs on-demand if they’re out of capacity. I live in Canada and didn’t get the error, although I’ve previously seen it.
I hate to be the guy who says, “Why not do this?”, but Colab also provides free GPUs and is by far the most straightforward service in its niche that I’ve encountered. I highly recommend it for quickly prototyping and following along a notebook.
Cheers!

Yes! Colab’s the last resort. I tried running on it and it works perfectly! Thanks again!

Hi, I faced the same problem, but the link for solution is disappear. Could you please show me again? Moreover, can I change any sets on my Macbook (M1 chip) to use GPU instead of CPU when run with Jupyter notebook? Thanks!
Hello,
Here is the up-to-date link for Colab. To run deep learning models on an M1 GPU, only the code must be modified; please refer to this article for a quick rundown.
