What happened?

When trying to open the program after installation nothing happens.

Steps to reproduce PS C:\Users[WindowsUser]\AppData\Local\vibe> .\vibe PS C:\Users[WindowsUser]\AppData\Local\vibe> .\vibe --version PS C:\Users[WindowsUser]\AppData\Local\vibe> .\vibe --help

What OS are you seeing the problem on?

Window 10

After installation (I'm not the original poster, just someone with the same problem) I found that the app had been installed in my user home directory in the AppData\Local folder. That is the FIRST time I've seen an app installed in this location. Is this the correct default location?

Also, it is 56,366 KB, is this an appropriate size? This is my first encounter with this app.

I uninstalled the version I had, installed 2.6.1, and still nothing happening. Uninstalled that, and downloaded 2.5.5 thinking that IT would definitely work. Nothing. This leads me to believe that there is some external requirement that I am not meeting. Attached is my dxdiag file. If you need other information, please reply.

Try the following:

1. Open the Windows Search, and type cmd.exe
2. Press Enter
3. Paste the following in the terminal and press Enter

cd %userprofile%\desktop
mkdir test
cd test
winget install -e --id 7zip.7zip
winget install -e --id JernejSimoncic.Wget
wget https://github.com/thewh1teagle/vibe/releases/download/v2.6.1/vibe_2.6.1_x64-setup.exe
"C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z.exe" x vibe_2.6.1_x64-setup.exe
wget https://github.com/thewh1teagle/vibe/raw/refs/heads/main/samples/short.wav
set RUST_LOG=DEBUG

4. Paste the following in the terminal and press Enter

vibe.exe --model ggml-medium.bin --file short.wav

5. Wait for the transcription to finish or for error.
6. Copy the full log. starting from the last command with vibe.exe

7 . Paste the log here

[renfrow]

Still nothing. Is there supposed to be a file "ggml-medium.bin" in the vibe directory? Also, do I need RUST downloaded?

What do you mean still nothing? I asked you to try because i wanted to see the logs. Have you missed step 7? :)

[renfrow]

Nothing, no logs, nothing.

[renfrow]

Is rust a program that I need? How about a file "ggml-medium.bin"? I have neither.

[thewh1teagle]

Nothing, no logs, nothing.

Hmm. That's strange. Can you check if there's invisible running instance of Vibe? Open task manager by Ctrl + Shift + Esc and search 'vibe' If you find, right click it and force close it. Then try again to run from the terminal

You don't need Rust. The file ggml-medium.bin should be in vibe's models folder if you ran it in the past

[renfrow]

There is no models folder.

[renfrow]

No vibe in task manager.

[renfrow]

Ok, downloaded ggml-medium.bin from huggingface. No difference. Put it in 'models' folder under vibe folder.

I'm not sure why it doesn't respond.

Can you join discord channel mentioned in the repository readme so we'll continue debug from there?

Here's the crash log for 2.6.1 log_2024-10.txt

[piknockyou]

I can reproduce my problem and solution!

For the latter:

1. Kill Vibe (e.g., w/ Task Manager).
2. Install Microsoft Edge WebView2.
3. Open Vibe successfully.
