Hello,

I’m not sure if it is the right place to post it, but I really would like to do this course, and I did not manage to start the lab. Every time I try to launch the lab, I receive the following error message:

Launch Error
We were unable to start your GPU task.
Please try again in a moment, or contact support.

Thank you.
Best regards,
Felipe

Somehow the course titled “Optimized Vehicle Routing” seems not to be available. Could you also check on that please. Thank you.

Hi, I have encountered a serious issue on the same Disaster Monitoring Course, [NGC failed to download pretrained model]
On my second notebook where we are supposed to download resnet18 model with the following command:

download the pre-trained segmentation model from NGC

!ngc registry model download-version nvidia/tao/pretrained_semantic_segmentation:resnet18
–dest $LOCAL_EXPERIMENT_DIR/pretrained_resnet18

It is not downloading anything and rather giving the following error message saying it failed:

{
“download_end”: “2025-01-15 22:11:33.330855”,
“download_start”: “2025-01-15 22:11:32.328877”,
“download_time”: “1s”,
“files_downloaded”: 0,
“local_path”: “/dli/task/tao_project/unet/pretrained_resnet18/pretrained_semantic_segmentation_vresnet18”,
“size_downloaded”: “0 B”,
“status”: “Failed”,
“transfer_id”: “pretrained_semantic_segmentation_vresnet18”
}

Help me proceed from here since the time is ticking and this error may impact my progress. Thank you.

I’ve reached out to the team and will get back to you as soon as possible. Thanks for your patience.
