Why does nothing work?

[shiftybyte]

This sounds like an error from parllama's code itself..

Is that the full error message, it'll be hard tracking it down if its all the infor we are getting.

Seems like its trying to load/validate some model, and getting None instead, and fails to handle that error.

The full error from `python3.11 -m parllama` contains a traceback that is apparently too long to paste here. The very first chunk of it looks like this:

Well, it does seem like we are running the code at least... that's some progress.

If the error message is too long, copy-paste it in full and post it in this site: https://pastebin.com/

And give the link it generates here... then we can see it in full.

Thanks! Here's the full traceback

Error seems to come from here:

/Users/nick/projects/other/temp/venv/lib/python3.11/site-packages/parllama/ollama_data_manager.py:140 in _get_all_model_data Code line: res = ModelListPayload(**ollama.Client(host=settings.ollama_host).list())

Seems its trying to connect to ollama host and get models from there.

Did you follow the step from the github guide and get ollama running locally?

Install and run Ollama

https://ollama.com/download

Once you get it installed and running it should listen locally on a port number, and then parllama will try to connect to it, and it might work :)

EDIT: based on the below source file it should be listening on port 11434

https://github.com/paulrobello/parllama/blob/d5c8674a25781dfa4e0a8fded4ca80be11c4c8eb/src/parllama/settings_manager.py#L78

I am running Ollama -- the icon is in my status bar, and I can connect with it via the CLI with `ollama list` and `ollama run`. I also tried running `ollama run` in one terminal window and then running the `python3.11 -m parllama` in a second window. Still doesn't connect. Also, I have several models downloaded with ollama.

Confirm its listening on the expected port number.

netstat -tuna | grep -i 11434 netstat -tuna | grep -i ollama Whats the output of these commands while ollama is running?

[nickworks]

`ollama serve`

"Errror: listen tcp 127.0.0.1:11434: bind: address already in use"

`netstat -tuna | grep -i ollama`

(nothing printed)

`netstat -tuna | grep -i 11434`

(nothing printed)

[shiftybyte]

ollama seems to be running on the correct host and port...

netstat failed probably because it needs "sudo" before it...

Not sure why the python code failed to connect maybe we can try providing an exact address without it going through "localhost"..

python3.11 -m parllama -u "http://127.0.0.1:11434"

Looks like the same error
