Just found this as a fix to my own issue with getting the colab notebook to work. This does look to be working (I'm currently at 5% trained on one of the demo scenes), but I did notice you had a little error in the imports. There is now an extra " on the end of an import line. Just wanted to point this out and the non-blocking error it causes before you try to merge this

Thank you!!! Going to test this soon and see if anything is needed, but it looks like everything is good! |

Background and Issues:
ns-trainin a jupyter cell, and this has been made apparent in several issues below. (Pro users can get around this, but it's still problematic and explained below)The culprit of this bug is that as of Feb 2024, Google Colab runs python 3.10, which has an issue with nerfstudio's rich console outputs. In particular, a python module called
shutilwill set the terminal size to 0 when dealing with rich console outputs. As a result, nothing gets printed, and Colab will shutdown the cell and terminate early before training can begin.This is mentioned in other python modules which use the rich console output, and a complete breakdown on the issue is detailed here.
Overview of Changes
colab-xtermmodule, we are able to create a terminal window in a jupyter cell output.ns-trainand they will be able to generate the viser/viewer link to see the training progressns-train's sharable URL linkImpact and Other Notes
While Pro Colab users can get around this by running
ns-trainin their terminal window, Colab only allows for 1 terminal window. Therefore, to run the render command, pro users need to Ctrl+C the training process hosting the viser/viewer link, which can be quite irritating - especially if they want to make more than just 1 render path.Therefore, even once Colab upgrades to python 3.11 in April 2024, there is still a need to have at least 2 terminal windows, which is possible with this change.
To run
ns-train, users (free and pro) simply need to follow the instructions to copy and paste the command into the terminal window. This is pretty clear to follow, and looks like the following:
