Hey C.M. VEGA, do you always need to run (load) all the cells to use SD? I always need to run all of the cells to use SD each time and it takes abit of time to do accomplish like maybe 10min. But once I'm connected and i have the link I am ready to go. Thanks for reminding me to terminate my session.

[@milestrombley1466]

Google Colab stopped me from using stable diffusion because it said I ran out of compute units.

[@kaungmyat1773]

I don't know what's wrong when i did it but it didn't work for me
I clicked the last cells and it show some red
I clicked the link u told me to and it says no interface is running

Hello sir. Does this method work with a low end pc? My graphics card is nvidia 1650(4gb) so i wasnt able to run invoke ai that i wanted. Will this google collab method work instead?

[@cmdelavega]

for low end pc you need to use Google Colab or any other cloud service that runs Stable Diffusion.

[@renevore2915]

@@cmdelavega oh so it does work for low end. Thats good! Thanks i will try it!

[@tokentechnoticias]

i make it work with Stable Difussion locally installed, the trouble is you cant expect high resolution results, and i not able to train my images yet.

This notepad has been working very poorly for me lately - the control doesn't work - it doesn't start at all - the scripts don't work-in general, practically nothing can be done??

[@cmdelavega]

I haven't used it the last 2 weeks but when I did, it initially took a while to load Stable Diffusion. After starting, it worked with no issues. Have you tried the other Notebooks on the A1111 github list? github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui/wiki/Online-Services

[@acadvideoart]

@@cmdelavega I've tried others before, but at the last moment I'm using this one (it's most used)- but for some reason it doesn't work quite well-especially with different settings and additions, you have to reboot all the time! And at the moment I can't launch a public link, everything is loaded, but I can't log in to the server??

[@cmdelavega]

I just tried The Last Ben notebook and it worked. It did get stuck originally generating an image, but I hit refresh and was able to generate other images. I noticed there's an update to the A1111 repo and it may be causing some issues (from the notebook: Use the pre-major A1111 update commit to avoid bugs while the repo is fixed). Also there's a new option to use CloudFlare Tunnel (says it offers better gradio responsivity). My other suggestion is to try with a different browser. I usually use Chrome, but maybe Brave, Firefox, Edge. Hope you can get it to work! I'll keep testing.

[@acadvideoart]

@@cmdelavega I reinstalled notepad and ticked the box you mentioned, everything works, but not always well! Do you know how to work with controlnet TemporalNet & "temporalvideo/py" script ??

[@cmdelavega]

same here, works but it's glitchy at times. Seems like they modified the code to work with the latest version of A1111. I'm only using Canny or Depth for ControlNet. Haven't used temporalnet or the temporalvideo/py script. Let me look into this.

[@wilhelmusrobben5731]

It was already banned before you uploaded this video

[@cmdelavega]

Lol, was working weeks after I uploaded video. Google just recently shut it down unless you have a Pro plan.

Hi. This is super interesting, unfortunately I am just tring Collab out for the first time and I get stuck at the step where I should add path to model, (my input: Path_to_MODEL:/content/gdrive/MyDrive/sd/stable-diffusion-webui/models/Stable-diffusion/) returns name error , line 149, which is shown to read --> 149 if os.path.exists(str(Path_to_MODEL)):"; and the error I am given is -> NameError: name 'os' is not defined any advice?

[@Mario_Barbosa31]

Same here!

[@legalizenuclearboms5569]

I keep getting the message

Working through this tutorial...everything is set up EXCEPT when I go to run Stable Diffusion...getting an error message
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Any idea?

[@cmdelavega]

Try checking the box: "Use_Latest_Working_Commit" in the Install/Update AUTOMATIC1111 repo cell and also "Use_Cloudflare_Tunnel:" in the Start Stable Diffusion cell.

[@adamsellshomes6819]

@@cmdelavega Tried both...same error message. No idea!

[@cmdelavega]

I just tried it yesterday and it worked on my end although it was a little glitchy at first generating images. Not sure whats going on although I noticed Automatic1111 repo is being updated. If TheLastBen Notebook is not working for you, try some of the other notebooks by other coders to run Stable Diffusion with Google Colab. Here's the link: github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui/wiki/Online-Services

Try to deleted all sd folders and items in your gdrive and try running colab again with no folders in gdrive and it should create them for you?
