I’m following the instructions here: https://course.fast.ai/start_gcp.html
I can set everything up and get access to http://localhost:8080/notebooks/tutorials/fastai/course-v3/nbs/dl1/lesson1-pets.ipynb.
Problem: nvidia driver fails to install and so I can’t utilize the gpu.
When I ssh into the instance, the following prompt shows up:
This VM requires Nvidia drivers to function correctly. Installation takes ~1 minute.
Would you like to install the Nvidia driver? [y/n]
Upon hitting y, this is the error:
Would you like to install the Nvidia driver? [y/n] y

Nvidia driver installed.
Oddly enough, the last message is Nvidia driver installed but it clearly hasn’t, since I get the same prompt when I get a new ssh connection.
