Cannot generate videos with Google Colab (was previously working): RuntimeError: Could not import backend "EGL": Could not initialize

[oca112]

Discussed in https://github.com/thygate/stable-diffusion-webui-depthmap-script/discussions/162

^{Originally posted by **oca112** April 7, 2023} I've setup a google colab with fast_stable_diffusion here: https://colab.research.google.com/github/TheLastBen/fast-stable-diffusion/blob/main/fast_stable_diffusion_AUTOMATIC1111.ipynb When trying to generate a video from the inpainted mesh, I get the following error - any ideas on how to troubleshoot this? `Error completing request Arguments: ('batch/batch_outputs/02_01-0000.ply', '375', '30', 0, '-0.037, +0.037, -0.05', '0.03, 0.03, 0.05, 0.03', False, 0, 2) {} Traceback (most recent call last): File "/content/gdrive/MyDrive/sd/stable-diffusion-webui/modules/call_queue.py", line 56, in f res = list(func(*args, **kwargs)) File "/content/gdrive/MyDrive/sd/stable-diffusion-webui/modules/call_queue.py", line 37, in f res = func(*args, **kwargs) File "/content/gdrive/MyDrive/sd/stable-diffusion-webui/extensions/stable-diffusion-webui-depthmap-script/scripts/depthmap.py", line 851, in run_makevideo fn_saved = run_3dphoto_videos(fn_mesh, basename, outpath, num_frames, num_fps, crop_border, vid_traj, x_shift_range, y_shift_range, z_shift_range, [''], dolly, fnExt, vid_ssaa) File "/content/gdrive/MyDrive/sd/stable-diffusion-webui/extensions/stable-diffusion-webui-depthmap-script/scripts/depthmap.py", line 739, in run_3dphoto_videos vispy.use(app='egl') File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/dist-packages/vispy/util/wrappers.py", line 93, in use use_app(app) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/dist-packages/vispy/app/_default_app.py", line 47, in use_app default_app = Application(backend_name) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/dist-packages/vispy/app/application.py", line 47, in __init__ self._use(backend_name) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/dist-packages/vispy/app/application.py", line 240, in _use raise RuntimeError(msg) RuntimeError: Could not import backend "EGL": Could not initialize`

Same with me while using it in a docker container. It might be that it fails in headless mode.

[thygate]

Make sure a vispy backend is installed, and that you're running on a colab with GPU ..

See https://github.com/vt-vl-lab/3d-photo-inpainting/issues/23

EDIT: a recent change in colab has broken a number of AI-related notebooks I use. So this may just be another.

I'm having similar issues with colab. I couldn't figure out how to translate the docker solution to colab. Minimal example:

os.environ["PYOPENGL_PLATFORM"] = "egl" 
!PYOPENGL_PLATFORM=egl python -c "from OpenGL import EGL"
print(os.environ['PYOPENGL_PLATF`ORM']) 
!pip install vispy

import vispy
vispy.use(app="egl") # the call that fails at   File "/content/drive/MyDrive/stable-diffusion-webui-colab/stable-diffusion-webui/extensions/stable-diffusion-webui-depthmap-script/scripts/depthmap.py", line 875, in run_3dphoto_videos

Even this fails even though the environment is set.

Same here, I was using my own scripts for rendering/video recording on Colab, just googled this issue. Tried today to use my Colab script that I used before, it was working on Colab few months ago, crash with same error:

!pip install vispy

import vispy
vispy.use('egl')

RuntimeError: Could not import backend "EGL": Could not initialize

[Sergio70]

the same thing happened to me in google colab :(

[thygate]

I have not tried to run it on colab, but perhaps this guy is onto something .. remove frame buffer for jupyter https://github.com/hyqhyq3/stable-diffusion-webui-depthmap-script/commit/6573d7d4adaeb143ef99f86e03c251b06948c73e https://github.com/vispy/jupyter_rfb/

[pionerstepansky]

same problem( https://github.com/hyqhyq3/stable-diffusion-webui-depthmap-script/commit/6573d7d4adaeb143ef99f86e03c251b06948c73e doesnt help

I am also having these issues. I can't get EGL to work in docker. Here's what I have, but can't get over the goal line.

I believe this requires cuda-libraries-dev-11-8 to work.

[rybi]

Did anyone solve it?

[danilw]

@rybi base on this https://github.com/vispy/vispy/issues/2469#issuecomment-1513673135 and this https://www.reddit.com/r/StableDiffusion/comments/12t8tc7/comment/jh2rwe1/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

quote from reddit:

Colab PM here.

Sorry. We prioritize interactive notebook compute for free of charge tier users - the webui is just using Colab as a convenient free GPU. We try to be cool, but usage has really been increasing lately and it's very noticeable now in our costs. I am constrained with what we can do with our budget!

I believe - since vispy used by "everyone", maybe even more than WebUI, to make videos on google-colab - they make it not work on their side same as with WebUI case.

While vispy perfectly fine working from local-colab or python-notebook local-setup. I can be wrong ofc, but this all information I know and it lead to this conclusion.
