# Turing-LIDA Data Study Group Azure Lab Notes

A miscellanous collection of notes from using Azure Labs for Turing-LIDA Data Study groups.

## Troubleshooting

### Windows DSVM Tensorflow errors

#### Error : Failed to get convolution algorithm. This is probably because cuDNN failed to initialize, so try looking to see if a warning log message was printed above.

I *suspect* this will be because the machines have CUDA 11.1 installed and Tensorflow 2.5.0 which are not listed as compatible on the [Tensorflow website for GPU support](https://www.tensorflow.org/install/source_windows#gpu).

Simple fix for this was:

```bash=
$ conda activate 

$ pip uninstall tensorflow-gpu

$ pip install tensorflow-gpu==2.4.0
```

Note that DSVMs appear to be configured to have the cudatoolkit installed via conda but tensorflow installed via pip.

### Windows: Installing X2Go without admin rights
