Reproduction

1. Try to load Wizard 1.2 model
2. Unable to allocate memory so crashes

Expected behavior

1. Try to load Wizard 1.2 model
2. Wizard 1.2 model loads and can interact with the chatbot on GPT4All GUI, which does work on the same system on Windows when I tried

Smaller models does work on Linux with and without GPU and throws no such errors as above

[cebtenzzre]

It'd be helpful if you could build GPT4All from source as described here with your build configuration set to Debug, open the directory containing the built chat and run gdb chat, and then run to run it and thread apply all bt to get the backtrace - then post the output.

[realKarthikNair]

@cebtenzzre here is the output of thread apply all bt

Please let me know if anything else is required

gdb.txt

[cebtenzzre]

Could you please run gdb chat again but use break ggml-vulkan.cpp:399, run, and then bt when it stops?

It would also be useful to have the output of vulkaninfo --summary.

[realKarthikNair]

@cebtenzzre there is no ggml-vulkan.cpp anywhere, not just in the project but not even in my system

karthik@fedora:~$ sudo updatedb
[sudo] password for karthik: 
karthik@fedora:~$ locate ggml-vulkan.cpp
karthik@fedora:~$

[realKarthikNair]

Here is the output of karthik@fedora:~$ vulkaninfo --summary > Temp/vulkan_summary.txt

vulkan_summary.txt

[realKarthikNair]

As you can see, my system has both an integrated radeon GPU and a dedicated Nvidia one.

I have tried gpt4all chat with all these system combinations on linux :

• default (hybrid mode)
• integrated (turned dedicated GPU off)
• dGPU (set mux switch to Nvidia one)

and the issue can be reproduced in all cases

[cebtenzzre]

Sorry, that should be ggml-kompute.cpp:409 - that was the file and line number from 2.6.1, but you're obviously building from the latest main branch.

Which GPU do you have selected in the UI?

[realKarthikNair]

It is showing No source file named ggml-kompute.cpp.

[realKarthikNair]

Which GPU do you have selected in the UI?

It was RTX 4060

I tried with CPU now and Wizard 1.2 is working.

Just noticed that on Windows too its working via CPU instead of RTX 4060 with 8 GB VRAM

My apologies for wasting your time.

Should I close the issue?

[cebtenzzre]

We still need to at least fix the fallback to CPU on Linux. Could you join the Discord and ping me? It seems like you're not getting the debug symbols that you should be - it may be more straightforward to just build with cmake instead.
