Hello,  
When installing Lambda Stack on a Desktop, I’m asked to select a display manager but I’m not able to choose one (between sddm and gdm3) and select OK in the editor. I tested TAB and several other keys but it did not work. Any tips on that please?  
Thanks in advance

Hi,

Are you using the guide here:

> **[Lambda Stack: an AI software stack that's always up-to-date](https://lambdalabs.com/lambda-stack-deep-learning-software)**
>
> Lambda Stack provides a one line installation and managed upgrade path for: PyTorch, TensorFlow, CUDA, cuDNN, and NVIDIA Drivers. It's compatible with Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, 18.04 LTS, and 16.04 LTS. No more futzing with your Linux AI software, Lambda...

Or here?:

> **[Lambda Stack and recovery images - Lambda Docs](https://docs.lambdalabs.com/education/linux-usage/lambda-stack-and-recovery-images/#removing-and-reinstalling-lambda-stack)**
>
> Lambda GPU Cloud documentation

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:
