What happened?

I've just installed required dependencies for Uubuntu (64 bits 24.04.2) as described in the readme. Gave permissions to webui.sh and started it. But it seems that my Python version is too recent.

Steps to reproduce the problem

1. Install Ubuntu 24.04.2 on your 64bits machine
2. Installed required dependencies as described in the readme
3. Run webui.sh from the terminal

What should have happened?

WebUi should have installed the stable diffusion program.

What browsers do you use to access the UI ?

Google Chrome

Sysinfo

I can't access to WebUi yet.

Console logs

pastebin

This is my configuration

The fact this repo in 2025 still needs Python from 2021 is ridiculous. I've wasted around 2 hours just trying to get it to install the dependencies and start because of this, and I just gave up and went to InvokeAI which worked beautifully.

A1111 is dead, move to another platform. ComfUI, Invoke.. you choose

2hours to add this to .bat? i think you should step away from the terminal :: Force use of Python 3.10.6 explicitly set PYTHON=

“Step away from the terminal”, please do yourself a favour and google what the meaning of “rolling release” is, and maybe accept that not everyone has as flexible of an environment as you do, to be able to have multiple Python versions installed at once, or have no necessity to use the latest updates.

go watch a youtube video on what the venv is and than how to use more than 1 version, nothing to do with ' newer '

How about not being so condescending and provide some help for those that may not be as up to speed as you. I'm having the same issue as well. I'd love to be able to install Python 3.10 and torch to support this application, however it appears that they have all been taken down an are no longer available. So is this thing dead and no longer supported or just behind on updates? It's looking for old versions of torch and Python. If you have a place to get Python 3.10, torch 2.0.0, and torchvision 0.15.1 let me know. Currently oldest version of torch are 2.5.0 and torchvision 0.21.0. Tks, Jeff....
