Unable to connect lambda instance to MSTY

Hi, Checking further into this, I had trouble finding concrete information if MSTY requires a graphical interface. Digging deeper, while I can’t confirm for sure, it does appear that MSTY requires a graphical. Our cloud instances come with Ubuntu Server, not Ubuntu Desktop, which comes with the g…

Version change in lambda cloud errors

Hi Kyle, Just to be sure, you read the warning at the top of the doc you linked?

Upgrading Python, that is, replacing the preinstalled Python version with a newer version, will break your instance. Instead of upgrading Python, you should install your desired version of Python alongside the prein…

Is there anyway to add more ram to the existing gpu_1x_a100_sxm4?

Hello, For our On-Demand, public cloud instances, their configurations are static so you’re not able to add more RAM. We have larger instances, granted 4x or 8x GPU instances with more RAM, however they’re more expensive. To get a better idea of what we offer, here’s a link to our cloud page:

Lamba Stack installation issue

Hi, Are you using the guide here:

Or here?:

If the former, try the latter from our docs site. If the latter, we’ll likely need you to open a ticket with us, here, if you haven’t already: https://support.lambdalabs.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

How to use GPU's when training a model?

Hi, You may find our tutorials in our blog helpful in this regard, especially since we have a short series specifically for Tensorflow.

Also, here is a Python command to use Tensorflow to ensure Tensorflow can see your GPUs:

python -c "import tensorflow as tf; print('Num GPUs Available: ', len(tf.config.list_physical_devices('GPU')))

Does processes end after ssh session disconnect?

Hi, I’d try checking any running python processes with:

ps aux | grep python

And see if you recognize any of the commands being run is the training you started yesterday. Something I’d recommend doing in the future, is performing your long-running training in a screen session which will hold open...

Is it possible to pause or turn instances on and off when not needed without have to create a new one?

Hi Carl, Currently our instances are ephemeral, so we don’t have the ability to pause/suspend instances just yet. Once our persistent storage is battle tested and fully released, we plan to work on support for persisting of the root image / pausing and restoring instances. Hopefully this informat…

Upgrading Quad w/ 4x 1080Ti to 2x 3080 Ti - how much pain?

Hi Richard, I’m not sure. That would be a good question for our Sales team. If you’d like, you can email them at sales@lambdalabs.com and they’ll be able to assist you. Also, if you can provide them your invoice ID or even the original quote number, I know that’d be super helpful for them.

Upgrading Quad w/ 4x 1080Ti to 2x 3080 Ti - how much pain?

Hi Richard, I think your biggest hurdle here will be that the RTX 30XX series needs CUDA 11+, so programs/models you’re training on the 1080Ti’s will likely need some modification given the CUDA versioning changes. Otherwise I don’t see you running into power restraints or space in your chassis as…

NVIDIA GPU for ML only?

Hi Victor, Likely the easiest way to accomplish this is by simply isolating the multi-user target, as right now your Tensorbook is running in the graphical target. To do this, run:

systemctl isolate multi-user.target

This will require you to use your login credentials again and you’ll be limited…

Lambda Stack and Ubuntu 21.10

Hello, I responded to this in your other thread Reinstalling operative system - Technical Help - DeepTalk - Deep Learning Community however the gist is that we do not support 21.10, so while some or all of Lambda Stack might still work, we won’t be able to assist if you encounter any issues. Regar…

Reinstalling operative system

Hi jhdez, Here is our guide on reinstalling Ubuntu with Lambda Stack: The URL says 18.04 but the links within will take you to the Ubuntu 20.04 install. I also see that you’ve inquired about if Lambda Stack works on 21.10. While most, if not all, should still work on 21.10, we do not support Ubunt…

RDP issues- Windows to Lambda Workstation (Ubuntu)

Hi Nick, The issue here is that your Lambda workstation doesn’t have a static, public facing IP for you to connect to when not on the same network. So when you’re attempting to connect to what would be your public IP, your router doesn’t know where to send that connection. The solution for this wo…

Lambda Laptop keeps losing timezone

Hi Jamaul, How are you resetting the timezone? Assuming you’re using a systemd OS, you can change the timezone with the timedatectl command. You’ll have to find your specific timezone first. For example, I’m CST which equates to America/Chicago, which can be found by the following:

timedatectl list-timezones

New lambda tensorbook boots to black screen in Ubuntu and hangs; boots fine to Windows

Hello again, When you’re at the black screen, are you able to use CTRL + ALT + F3 to open a new TTY? If so, try running the commands again. If this doesn’t work, I’d highly recommend opening a support case with us so that we can better assist you. This can be done by emailing support@lambdalabs.co…
