I am trying to install Easy Diffusion, it starts and after few minutes of the process I get this error

critical libmamba Can't create 'man/man3/ExtUtils::MM_AIX.3'

error libmamba Error opening for reading "/run/media/xxxxxx/Easy-Diffusion-Linux/easy-diffusion/installer_files/mamba/pkgs/perl-5.32.1-4_hd590300_perl5/info/index.json": No such file or directory

Any package missing?

    I used the Easy Diffusion under windows 11, its installer on windows as you might expect is big like 1GB then it has to download about 12GB of data under windows 11. I am not sure how much space it takes up in Linux, not sure about the Linux version, I am guessing you need development apps, since I think the size of the Linux installer is small and has to download a lot and maybe compile apps like gentoo does, so either it doesn't like solus, or you need to use another Linux like Debian, ubuntu, or fedora or openSUSE, my guess is the installer was made for another version of a Linux distro, since they all use different commands for fetching download and making them work, but yes, most likely it needs a much of development addons that you might not have yet, so it reads something in that text about perl5 so maybe you need some perl5 libs or something else that solus 4.4 if you using that one might not have in the distro yet, you might have to find stuff , since I am no Linux expect I can only guess it might be trail and error to get this to work. I was thinking about also installing it on Linux, but I am going to try openSUSE tumbleweed again , since this one seems to disable stuff like the splash screen and logo splash screens, so it might of disabled whatever Easy Diffusion is looking for, but you could do this stuff in say Bing image AI under edge its installable with this method,

    I don't know if https://www.bing.com/images/create/
    or if this page is helpful

    as it will do the same thing as Easy Diffusion but with censoring and watermarks on their images, you have to be careful in what you put in your prompt under the image to text app. if you get stable diffusion working you can remove the watermarks with that if you use the gui web page for stable diffusion on the bing AI images but humans will not look like the actors unless you tell it too, if your trying to be realistic looking you might want to stick with stable diffusion then. I hope these links help's you Jason. anyway, I am trying to be helpful, but I just don't know how to fix that incorrect download error you got from this distro.

    under easy diffusion that's not a problem, but again I am not sure how to fix it under it. I don't think Easy Diffusion is under software center in solus 4.4, but you might want to look for the normal stable Diffusion, it might be easier to install under Linux, since easy diffusion is just an GUI for it, also stable Diffusion is kind of the same software with less features or stuff you have to install on your own type of thing with Linux terminal skills.

    this page might help you get it up and running, look for stable diffusion at GitHub, again all Easy Diffusion really is a app to install a modified version of stable diffusion, and does stuff like download the needed files for it under windows, but my experience with Easy Diffusion is based on using it on my newer desktop under windows 11, so I don't know how to fix your problem besides recommend you look into trying to get stable diffusion installed from the instructions on GitHub website.

    and of course, easy diffusion also has a GitHub page.

    https://github.com/easydiffusion/easydiffusion/releases

    https://github.com/easydiffusion/easydiffusion/releases/download/v2.5.41a/Easy-Diffusion-Linux.zip

    and the windows exe if you want to try to run it with wine, again I don't know if that will work or not.

    https://github.com/easydiffusion/easydiffusion/releases/download/v2.5.41a/Easy-Diffusion-Windows.exe

    I hope that helps if you haven't look at their pages yet, I am guessing the commands on them are based on Linux maybe, again I used easy diffusion .exe installer file under windows 11, the only other thing I could think you could try it might work or not use the windows-based installer in wine, maybe under Linux and get it downloaded that way. if that works or not, I am not sure.

    I think these are the commands needed for edge browser on solus 4.4 again I don't know if bings image
    ai only works under edge or if you can use any browser with it.

    sudo eopkg install -c flathub

    sudo eopkg install flatpak xdg-desktop-portal-gtk

    sudo eopkg install flatpak

    flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://dl.flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo

    flatpak install flathub com.microsoft.Edge

    Examples below of Bing's Image Creator and what it can do for any text to image theme

    Prompt is "A penquin playing on his linux computer" I used the Bing Image Creator for these images, you can give
    it more details like oil painting or clay animated 50s art stuff like that in a prompt and it will change more of the image to whatever you want, anyway I just wanted to share these images I did today













    Prompt for last images are "realistic oil painting heavy dark ages of A penquin playing on his linux computer" in Bing Image Creator, feel free to keep any of these images if you want. it would make a good app to create some desktop backgrounds if you like this type of thing for that.

    I think as you pointed out, few packages which Easy Diffusion needs is not part of the OS. Installing Conda and few other things will help. I was a Windows user, so let me read or try few things to get it fixed.

    Thanks for the detailed post of generating images. I like to test my GPU with these diffusions to see how it works.

    elfprince @Maximalprime2 look at that last picture. it's amazing because it obviously isn't an oil painting but the bing software (or whatever) has it looking like oil on acrylic (hard matte background w/texture) painting. It blows my mind. Art created about, or inspired by, art, to the Greeks, was called Ekphrasis. Next gen for sure in my eyes.

      Please keep the pictures to their own discussion. This is a support thread, and they make finding anything in the thread very hard.

      if it helps, and you dual boot, or are able to use the windows installer for Easy Diffusion, I had used the windows installer for it, it has it in a directory called EasyDiffusion on the C:\ drive, you can copy the installed windows directory onto your linux hard drive, then in the How to install and run.txt it reads this below, below is from the windows installed, I would try and copy that folder if you got a USB drive that can fit the 12GB like me, you can transfer it from your windows hard drive onto your linux drive,

      I don't know if you have tried this yet, or if that would help you at all getting it up and running on linux. I download and installed it under windows so, I don't know if that start.sh will redownload all the files again on linux or if it will download just wants missing, I have no idea, since I plan on trying it on the computer I have opensuse microOS installed on, if that doesn't work I try opensuse tumbleweed with it,

      I removed the solus from my pc, since I don't like the missing splash screen and missing kde splash login screen, I like the idea of solus, I just don't like that they disabled normal linux features within it, I could try to turn the features back on but that would take time, and stuff I am not sure I can do, since when I tried solus it didn't even install grub with secure boot on, like opensuse does, but in any case, I tried fedora 38 spins and silverblue but for whatever reason I like opensuse a bit more than fedora, to me openSuse tumblewed and MicroOS seems faster at updating and installing software. one problem with that solus did was now, when there was a splash screen on my old gigabyte it displays the Gigabyte dual bios logo on the screen instead of what used to be a linux splash screen, or black parts between gdm and gnome login also displays the bios screen instead of the normal splash screen, same type of bug or feature can be seen with kde or plasma ,

      I also tried to test the solus unstable branch for seeing what they have did to gnome 44, for some reason settings seen in gnome 44 under opensuse and fedora are missing in the solus gnome 44 under unstable, I tested it because I want to see what they were doing with it, seems they removed some security settings from gnome 44 like the area where it showed if secure boot was on or off, has been removed in solus gnome 44 under unstable or they just haven't applied it yet, and it will be returned under stable when gnome 44 on solus is stable, I don't know, and don't plan on asking about it, I just wait for it to reach the stable and see if the features are or not there at that point. for my old pc, some settings like I fine with secure boot showing on or off, but the box next to it, on my old pc has it in the red since that pc doesn't have a TPM device on the i7 processor or its gigabyte motherboard, I don't recall when we built that computer if it even came with a TPM device, I am thinking it didn't have it include in the motherboard box but I am not sure since its been years since I seen that pc's motherboard box it was shipped in.

      Link to my other AI images of a Penguin on his linux pc, also it was moved to off topic, when I did post it in a Question heading, I guess that doesn't matter anyway, I think they had merged the last images I made, also I tried coping it with my USB drive then tried the readme but it failed, your going to have to redownload all the files with the linux.zip download from their website, and then hope it installs right on whatever distro you try it on, good luck I started the linux version of the download with start.sh on my opensuse MicroOS, so far I had to manually download bzip2 and install that with pkg install and then reboot then do the same thing with the nvida drivers, since I needed to reinstall them anyway on linux. I don't know if its going to work or if I need to switch to OpenSuse tumbleweed, stuff like snap snapd and snap-store does not work under MicroOS its too hard for me to get that to work, but flathub and flatpak does work under MicroOS, if that info helps with this matter, I don't have any idea. just extra info on the linux topic.

      sudo transactional-update pkg install bzip2 is the command on opensuse that is needed for easy diffusion in order to download files, sudo eopkg install bzip2 would be needed on solus if that also helps, in order for their start.sh to download anything is needs that file install on the distro.

      https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Aeon#:~:text=sudo%20transactional-update%20pkg%20install%20%24pkg1%20followed%20by%20sudo,that%20combined%20snapshot%20as%20the%20next%20boot%20target. --if you ever try MicroOS this is one page that talks about its installing system if that helps.

      your going to need also install libgthread-2_0-0-32bit that was missing on MicroOS which is ran after downloading all the files, its missing a file callled libglibgthread-2.0.so.0 cannot open shared object file: no such file or director

      you might need to install libgthread-2_0-0 from other sources maybe not sure. if that's also missing on solus too.

      also it seems unlike opensuse tumbleweed each time you add something with transactional-update , you have to reboot your computer after installing the files. which is not yet needed for solus 4.4 , I can't say for sure about solus 5 since its not released yet, but if it going to be like fedora silverblue or opensuse microOS then yes your going to have to reboot the OS a lot after updating system files I think, that if solus 5 is going to be like either of them.

      For Linux:

      • Please open a terminal, and go to the "stable-diffusion-ui" directory. Then run ./start.sh

      That file will automatically install everything. After that it will start the Stable Diffusion interface in a web browser.

      To start the UI in the future, please run the same command mentioned above.

        First of all, new update by Solus team enabled me to start Easy Diffusion without any issues. But I have query, when i run the software it says

        torch: 1.13.1+rocm5.2
        torchvision: 0.14.1+rocm5.2
        sdkit: 2.0.15
        stable-diffusion-sdkit: 2.1.5

        Found AMD GPU Lexa PRO [Radeon 540/540X/550/550X / RX 540X/550/550X].
        --- This GPU is probably not supported by ROCm

        Anyway I can make my card compatible to use it with the software. Or the does the error mean my card doesn't meet the requirements at all? I should switch to new GPU then?

        The diffusion makes use of CPU rather than GPU
