Deleted Lambda Stack as it wasn’t working with Pytorch or Tensorflow.

Reinstalled fresh Ubuntu 22.04, new nvidia drivers etc. Pytorch and Tensorflow worked for ~3 weeks.

Last Thursday training started suddenly going very slowly  
Checked `nvidia-smi` :

> NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn’t communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running.

Reinstalled 515 drivers through `Software & Updates` , restarted and got nothing but a flashing cursor on restart.

Have now:

- Uninstalled / reinstalled Ubuntu 22.04, drivers, etc, same issue
- Tried Ubuntu 20.04, same issue

Interestingly the nvidia gpu output of `lspci | grep VGA` is VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation Device 2460 (rev a1) when this should be something like `NVIDIA Geforce Ti 3080` or similar

If I change `Chipset` \> `GPU Mode` to `Discrete GPU Only` I can get to the login screen, but the trackpad and mouse don’t work.

I can’t get the recovery iso image off the website as the [link doesn’t work](https://deeptalk.lambda.ai/t/recovery-image-for-razer-x-lambda-tensorbook/3121/9)

So what’s the next move here? Calling Lambda tomorrow but wondering if anyone else has experienced similar?

Is this still true? The [link](https://files.lambdalabs.com/recovery/tensorbook-jammy-20221105.iso) works just fine for me.

It worked the next day, link must have been fixed.
