Speech-to-Text API: Qwik Start is configured incorrectly. Trying to connect to the VM instance via browser SSH gives this error message:
”SSH authentication has failed

In order to debug, please analyze the sshd logs on the target machine using the serial console. Reading the recent serial port output may also be helpful.”

HI Any one received SWAG

@humanspidercrab ,
Some zone/regions are facing SSH authentication problems across different labs.

Its important whoever facing the problem, escalate with details including region/zone, so that support team can rectify faster.

Send a mail to support@quiklabs.com with details of Lab name with code, Region, Zone , screen shot of error message in PDF format.

Mean while try to start lab again and complete lab.

Great. You mentioned earlier that you missed the Arcade Facilitator registration. I hope you’ve subscribed to Arcade Season 2 by now. If so, you should have received the Arcade Insider email, which includes your points summary.
Note: After completing your subscription for Arcade Season 2, you’ll start receiving Arcade Insider emails from the second week of each month, beginning next month

Continue completing Arcade games and earning skill badges to reach your target prize tier.

@RAOKS

Thanks . How do I find , what are the subscriptions for my account?

After completing many arcade labs, I did not see incoming credits, but see depletion of credits . I am not able to see, where are these credits gone.

My credit use history shows 0

After getting skill badges, how/where can see received points in my account?

When I use the labs, it shows NO COST at the top, but I see credit deduction after completion of labs. How do I know more about this?

Thanks.

@Iyerrams ,

Few labs of October has be solved using CLI commands . After starting lab , CLI with SDK interface will open automatically .

Any update regarding this query?

@ryuk27 @seankhurana
Arcade games displayed Arcade Facilitator Program are only counted for Facilitators Cohort 2 , So October games are not counted towards facilitator milestones.

If you meet criteria of Arcade and Trivia games for specific milestones and and if you are short of skills badges and lab free courses , you can complete skills badges and lab free courses till 6th October 2025 11:59 PM (IST)
