Thanks @nbharatula
As I’m installing it on a local machine with GPU I wanted to get this working.
And this got it to work:
conda update conda -y --all
pip install fastai --upgrade
conda update -c fastai fastai failed to provide the necessary updates I think which is odd. But the above (pip update) resulted in fixing the issue.
To note, this issue is addressed in the forum FAQ for this version v3 (2019). Good! Thanks, Jerome.
