Magic Ink not working / I am ignorant

[EliBlackwell]

Hello!

I am new to Ubuntu and was trying to clone and run the project and see what all it does.

I was able to get the server and client running. I was able to doodle with the sketch tool. However, the Magic Ink tool where you select and enter keywords before clicking start did not work. I am unsure if I am missing something, if there is a database or machine learning algorithm that is required which is not included in the repository, or what I am doing wrong.

I tried the colorful flowers prompt, frog, and humanoid since they were included in the server test-imgs folder. But nothing happened. Attaching a video file for reference. Any help or explanation would be appreciated!

Also, clicking the Stop button above "You're up next!" breaks the application and nothing else can be done until refreshing the webpage.

Here is a video detailing what I wrote above:

Thank you,

Eli

The team behind this project is very busy, does not respond to Issues / Questions, or closed shop.

Have a wonderful day to whoever sees this. 😊

Hi Eli, pardon the slow reply and sorry to hear that you are having issues. There is only one person on this (and artbreeder) at the moment so I am a little spread thin. From the video it's unclear to me why it is not working. Does chrome work for you? Otherwise prosepainter is online and totally free to use! http://prosepainter.com/

If neither of those help then unfortunately I dont have much bandwidth for more debugging now

best,
Joel

Hi how are you doing? :)

Been trying to set this one up on an Ubuntu 20.04 as well and I have to potential issues, not sure if the author is having a similar one but I reached a similar state when following the README.md

That particular problem was JUST running the servers without manually running
conda install pytorch==1.7.1 torchvision==0.8.2 torchaudio==0.7.2 -c pytorch

After that, I ran into a different problem that now the server knows it's not running properly and now I'm crashing into missing taming:

Loading taming...
Initiating taming from thegeniverse
Whoops! You do not have taming installed
Run the following command to install it:
pip install https://github.com/thegeniverse/taming/archive/master.zip

However, doing the pip install and rerunning doesn't solve it.

Will investigate more and update here.
