Fresh install on ubuntu throws error and GUI fails to start - no display name and no $DISPLAY environment variable; customtkinter python module required! #716

Closed therky04 closed 5 months ago

therky04 commented 5 months ago

Ubuntu LTS 22.04 - cloned the git and ran ./koboldcpp.sh dist

But when I then run ./koboldcpp.sh again, it just throws me this error. I've also tried installing customktinter and tk via pip, and python3-tk respectively, but that won't fix it.

Welcome to KoboldCpp - Version 1.59.1 For command line arguments, please refer to --help

Warning, GUI failed to start: Reason: no display name and no $DISPLAY environment variable File selection GUI unsupported. customtkinter python module required! Please check command line: script.py --help

Setting export = display=0.0 won't fix it either.

Can you please point me in the right direction?

Does your system support a graphical interface? Is X11 installed?

If you don't need the GUI launcher, you can simply pass your model via CLI and it will work e.g. --model For commands, run --help

Thanks for your reply, thank you for pointing me in the right direction. I wasn't aware that GUI did not mean the webserver but an actual interface that you can access locally. I only accessed my client via ssh, thus no X11. With the right model and the right settings I now got it to work. Thank you very much for your assistance!
