[Bug]: fails to start fetching updates for K-Diffusion

[Jonseed]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues and checked the recent builds/commits

What happened?

Starting up the server with webui-user.bat causes this error:

Fetching updates for K-diffusion...
Checking out commit for K-diffusion with hash: 60e5042ca0da89c14d1dd59d73883280f8fce991...
Traceback (most recent call last):

It then quits, and fails to boot up the server.

Steps to reproduce the problem

1. Run webui-user.bat
2. See error in terminal

What should have happened?

Server should boot up.

I believe this is related to commit bbfdfa5

[Boymerkz]

Give this a try change the line k_diffusion_commit_hash = to the below

k_diffusion_commit_hash = os.environ.get('K_DIFFUSION_COMMIT_HASH', "f4e99857772fc3a126ba886aadf795a332774878")

[Jonseed]

I just did a git checkout back to commit 2e60423 until it gets sorted.

[Boymerkz]

git checkout

how do i do that for the transformers

Hmm, I'm not sure which commit changed transformers hash. You could try just going back a couple days, pick a commit, and then 'git checkout x' replacing the x with the first 7 digits of the commit. To return to the latest, do 'git checkout master'.

[Boymerkz]

It worked this morning so would i just go back to then on the SD web git

[Jonseed]

If it was working on a commit earlier today, yes, you would just git checkout a commit from earlier today.

[Boymerkz]

Yea this didn't work unsure how it could be fixed, tried fresh install and going back a day possible that something in the engineer notebook overrides the backdated commit

[Jonseed]

Yeah, not sure if you are using Colab how to checkout earlier commit.

delete k-diffusion folder in repositories folder and it will start.

ok, that works, but is not intuitive. Why does fetching updates for K-diffusion fail if the repository is already there? Why can't git checkout the right hash?

[mindfu23]

deleted repo and that worked for me too, here a month later.
Glad I came across this page.
Also curious why that actually worked, while grateful of course.

What to do?

[moskoo]

u can modify the value of "K_DIFFUSION_COMMIT_HASH" in "webui-macos-env.sh" file to be consistent with the "k_diffusion_commit_hash: in "launch.py" file

delete k-diffusion folder in repositories folder and it will start.

It works for me, thanks.
