Common issues

I can't access the private repositories
  • Confirm you accepted all GitHub invitations (check the bell icon and your email spam folder).
  • Verify your GitHub username matches what you submitted on the interest form.
  • Open the solutions repo and the otter-service-stdalone org while logged in. GitHub often surfaces an "Accept" prompt there.
  • Still stuck after 24 hours? Email ds-help@berkeley.edu.
My JupyterHub isn't ready yet

If your hub is still being provisioned (for example through Cloudbank or Cal-ICOR), we'll give you a realistic timeline. For piloting, consider Google Colab or Binder in the meantime.

Canvas import errors
  • Make sure you're importing a Common cartridge 1.x package.
  • Check Canvas file-size limits.
  • Try importing sections individually if the full import fails.
