As I see it the problem lies probably somewhere in CUDA drivers, Colab got upgraded to Ubuntu 22.04 and so CUDA drivers that probably for some reason I cant grasp arent working ok with OpenCL, BlendLuxCore is by default set to OpenCL, you can change the preferences to CUDA by cmd , but ATM and probably related it isnt showing Light Paths: renders but without caustics:

Thanks for the replay. The problem is not only with google colab though. I have tried AWS and now, today I tried multiple times on GCloud instance as well. No matter what I do - nothing works. The only solution I have for the moment is use blender3 with luxcore2.6. Anything above blender3 with luxcore just errors out. I did try your colab notebook - it works but the render comes very washed out. Do you have an idea for why or what else I can do?
I should mention that on AWS and GCloud I use ubuntu22 LTS.
I'm not sure where the problem is, I can make it work with OpenCL in Colab if I update the drivers with:
!apt update !apt purge nvidia -y !apt-get install -y cuda-drivers
replaces current 535 with 555
If prior to that you try !clinfo you get 0 (zero) devices
Still, same results as using CUDA (shared notebook): no Light Tracing. So your problem is mostly because of botched NVIDIA drivers, still I dont have NVIDIA but I'm trying to grab a laptop with NVIDIA to see if (my) problem could be with the BlendLuxCore add on.
I dont have experience with AWS or GCloud. AFAIK ubuntu22 LTS is the same as Colab: 22.04

Its the same problem for the Blender3.6 version
