[Bug]: Torch is not able to use GPU

[Raz0rStorm]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues and checked the recent builds/commits

What happened?

After installing the requirements, I run webui.bat and got the error

Steps to reproduce the problem

1. Install requirements
2. Run webui.bat
3. error

What should have happened?

It should go through, I encoutered no such error when using the vanilla webui

You can solve this by manually reinstalling the proper PyTorch version from the PyTorch-Website.

Make sure to adapt the command to use your local venv. In my example, I had to change it from:

pip3 install torch torchvision torchaudio --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu118

to

.\venv\Scripts\Python.exe -m pip install --upgrade --force-reinstall torch torchvision torchaudio --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu118

After that I get a numpy version error, but webui.bat seems to run fine.

[AceroMagico]

To eliminate the numpy (or any other lib) version error you can do :
.\venv\Scripts\Python.exe -m pip install --force-reinstall --no-deps numpy
the --no-deps assure that the library installation does not reinstall libraries linked to it (which triggers a loop of error requirements then for example in torch ver cu118 )

All that got me through the first step of launch, thank you JoBilert and AceroMagico.
However, then I encoutered:

stdout:

this is strange, because the latest hash should be 3ba01b2
Does anyone know how to solve this?

[AceroMagico]

If you have the folder taming-transformers in D:\Stable_diffusion\automatic\repositories you can try to go in folder with a cmd shell and do an update to last Version:

git checkout master

this are other useful commands:

Current Version log commit checkout number
git log -1

rem All Previews Versions Updates log commit hash (press enter for more)
git log

rem To revert to Preview Version paste a commit checkout number after git checkout
git checkout XXXXXXXX

If I make git log -1 (Current Version log commit checkout number) I take :
commit 3ba01b241669f5ade541ce990f7650a3b8f65318 (HEAD, origin/master, origin/HEAD, master)
Merge: 2426893 9e9981c
....
Merge pull request #190 from carmocca/patch-1

Use compatible import
