Just use a ssh client with VNC support to connect I recommend using Mobaxterm

demotomohiro commented 4 years ago

You need to run the ssh command that is displayed by remocolab to make ssh port forward after the vnc password is displayed. I use ssh client that is installed with scoop. After you install ssh client, copy paste the ssh commnd to the command prompt and login using the password that is generated by remocolab. Then, you can use TurboVNC viewer to login to the colab.

I am also very confused on how it's supposed to work, whenever I try to run it colab gives me a gpu limit notification after a few minutes.

@123ldk That is probably this issue: https://github.com/demotomohiro/remocolab/wiki/Frequently-Asked-Questions#google-colab-disconnected-before-or-right-after-remocolabsetupvnc-done

I tried to run remocolab today but google colab disconnected in a few minutes in both GPU and none-GPU instance. I cannot also run following code for more than 5 minutes:

import time

begin = time.time()
for i in range(30 * 6):
  time.sleep(10)
  print(time.time() - begin)
