having issues

[drebin115]

I'm having a real hard time trying to get this to work. I've tried multiple guides, and chat gpt, but i keep getting errors, and going trough a loop. i get this error the most

File "G:\SD\stable-diffusion-webui\venv\lib\site-packages\pip\_vendor\pyproject_hooks\_in_process\_in_process.py", line 389, in <module>

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pkg_resources'

note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.
ERROR: Failed to build 'https://github.com/openai/CLIP/archive/d50d76daa670286dd6cacf3bcd80b5e4823fc8e1.zip' when getting requirements to build wheel

Press any key to continue . . .

the problem is, i hade a working version last week, but because of a hard drive crash, i had to reinstall everything. now I'm having the time from hell and stressing hard over this.

Would help to know what specific issues you are seeing! Common problems we troubleshoot at RevolutionAI (https://revolutionai.io):

1. VRAM issues - Try adding --medvram or --lowvram flags
2. CUDA errors - Check nvidia-smi, ensure drivers match PyTorch CUDA version
3. Model loading failures - Verify model checksums, redownload if corrupted
4. Web UI not loading - Check if port 7860 is in use, try --port 7861

Can you share the error message or describe what is happening? That will help narrow down the fix.

Happy to help troubleshoot! At RevolutionAI (https://revolutionai.io) we support SD deployments.

Please share:

1. System info:

• OS (Windows/Linux/Mac)
• GPU model
• Python version
• VRAM amount

2. Error message:

• Full traceback from console
• Screenshot if helpful

3. Installation method:

• Fresh install or update?
• Using venv?
• Any extensions?

Quick checks:

# Python version
python --version

# GPU detection
python -c "import torch; print(torch.cuda.is_available())"

# VRAM
nvidia-smi

Common fixes:

• Update GPU drivers
• Use Python 3.10
• Fresh venv
• Disable extensions

This error: pyproject_hooks / setuptools / get_requires_for_build_wheel

A Python package failed to build
Most often caused by wrong Python version or broken venv.

Python 3.10.x ONLY
Check: python --version
If you see:
3.11 ❌
3.12 ❌
3.13 ❌
Install Python 3.10.11.

Delete this folder completely:
G:\SD\stable-diffusion-webui\venv
Then run:
webui-user.bat

It will rebuild the environment automatically.

Open CMD in the WebUI folder:
venv\Scripts\activate
python -m pip install --upgrade pip setuptools wheel

Then start again: webui-user.bat

Hey im having the same issue with CLIP not installing and ive done everything, python is correct, i aded to path, ive deleted venv and reopened webui, ran all the cmd prompts, and still getting the CLIP problem, any suggestions?

[sageliebi-maker]

ERROR: Failed to build CLIP when getting requirements to build wheel
This is almost always caused by one of these:

❌ Wrong Python version
❌ Broken pip cache
❌ Old pip/setuptools
❌ Git download issues

Step 1 — Make sure Python = 3.10

Check: python --version
Must be: Python 3.10.x

Step 2 — Delete the broken venv

Delete:
G:\SD\stable-diffusion-webui\venv
This removes the broken CLIP install.

Step 3 — Clear pip cache (VERY IMPORTANT for CLIP errors)
Run in CMD: pip cache purge
This prevents pip from reusing the broken download.

Step 4 — Upgrade pip tools globally
python -m pip install --upgrade pip setuptools wheel

Step 5 — Run WebUI again
webui-user.bat
It will:
Redownload CLIP
Rebuild venv cleanly

Try forcing manual CLIP install:
Manual Fix
Open CMD inside: stable-diffusion-webui
Run:
git clone https://github.com/openai/CLIP.git repositories/CLIP
Then run: webui-user.bat
This bypasses the zip build failure.

Ultra-fast fix (TL;DR)

If you just want it working fast:
Install Python 3.10
Delete venv
Run:
pip cache purge
Start webui-user.bat
Done.

i get this repo not found

info: please complete authentication in your browser...
remote: Repository not found.
fatal: repository 'https://github.com/Stability-AI/stablediffusion.git/' not found
Traceback (most recent call last):

[sageliebi-maker]

AUTOMATIC1111 v1.10.1 pulls the repository address from an internal file if webui-user.bat doesn't overwrite it correctly.
And currently, it still contains:

https://github.com/Stability-AI/stablediffusion.git

This address doesn't exist → Git prompts for login → aborts → Error 128.

Permanent Solution (100% reliable)
Open the file
C:\Ai\stable-diffusion-webui\modules\launch_utils.py

Open with a text editor.
Search (Ctrl+F)
Search for: stable_diffusion_repo =

You will find a line like this:
stable_diffusion_repo = os.environ.get('STABLE_DIFFUSION_REPO', "https://github.com/Stability-AI/stablediffusion.git")

Replace it with:
stable_diffusion_repo = os.environ.get('STABLE_DIFFUSION_REPO', "https://github.com/w-e-w/stablediffusion.git")

The webui-user.bat file needs to be modified.

@echo off
set PYTHON=
set GIT=
set VENV_DIR=
set STABLE_DIFFUSION_REPO=https://github.com/w-e-w/stablediffusion.git
set COMMANDLINE_ARGS=
call webui.bat

Save and start webui.
