New release of Torch

[DiegoJota]

A few hours ago the release of Torch 1.9.0 and Torchaudio 0.9.0 was released and since then the notebooks are not working on Colab. As the scripts don't specify the exact version number, pip is installing the latest one.

An example of this error is in the notebook "Speaker Diarization Inference":

I used Torch versions 1.8.0 and torchaudio versions 0.8.0 and the problems were fixed.

I found it important to report this bug to help new users.

Hi

You might want to be careful how you pin the version. We are asking Google Colab team to update the default PyTorch version.

googlecolab/colabtools#2088

If you pin the torchaudio version to 0.8 now, it might stop working soon. I am not expert on Colab, so I cannot propose a nice solution, but just heads up.

and note that Google Colab will not pre-install torchaudio.

Hi

Yes, collab does not install, but NeMo notebooks are installing. In the tutorial "Speaker Diarization Inference" and among others, right at the beginning it is updated to the latest version.

## Install TorchAudio
!pip install torchaudio -f https://download.pytorch.org/whl/torch_stable.html

Consequently updating Torch and Torchaudio to newer versions.

Thanks for reporting this, we will take a look at short term possible solutions to this.

The resolution was to simply wait for Colab to update fo latest pytorch. Thank you for your help with the discussion !
