# Known issues
## magpie-tts crash loop (Spark 2)
The `magpie-tts` container at `nvcr.io/nim/nvidia/magpie-tts-multilingual:latest` is in a restart loop and `:9000` is not reachable. **Status as of 2026-05-12: unfixed. UI surfaces a red dot.**
**Root cause (from `docker logs magpie-tts`):**
```
nimlib.exceptions.ManifestDownloadError: Error downloading manifest:
I/O error Permission denied (os error 13)
```
The container exits 1 from `nimutils.download_models()` when fetching `nim/nvidia/magpie-tts-multilingual` model files from NGC. The "permission denied" is a local filesystem error — the container can't write the model cache where it expects to.
**To diagnose further:**
```bash
ssh <spark-user>@<spark-2-ip>
docker inspect magpie-tts | jq '.[].HostConfig.Mounts, .[].Config.Env'
# Look for: the mount path for the model cache, and whether NGC_API_KEY is set.
```
**Likely fixes (untried):**
1. Chown the bind-mounted cache directory on Spark 2 to the UID the container runs as.
2. Set an `NGC_API_KEY` env var (NIM containers need this for non-public artifacts).
3. Confirm there's free disk space.
## Qwen3.6-35B-A3B `--moe_backend=flashinfer_cutlass` may fail on launch
This flag is Blackwell-specific. If vLLM in the container reports `unrecognized arguments: --moe_backend` or similar, edit `models.yaml` for `qwen36` and drop that flag. The swap UI does NOT auto-fallback in v0.1 — failure surfaces in the log stream.
## Two SSH paths to Spark 1 from the laptop
`ssh <spark-user>@<spark-1-ip>` does NOT work from the laptop because the NVIDIA Sync ssh_config only has a Host entry for `<spark-1-host>.local`. Always use the `.local` hostname or `<spark-2-ip>`-style entries that ARE matched.
## Older models in `models.yaml`
The `qwen3-235b-fp8` and `qwen25-72b` catalog entries are conservative guesses for vLLM flags — they're on disk but were never the focus of this project. First launch of either may fail or be suboptimal; capture working flags here.
