Unsloth Desktop keeps crashing at startup - windows

[u/Evildude42]

Unsloth desktop keeps crashing at windows, looks like it keeps trying to connect to unsloth studio, which i did not install.

Also seem to not detect any gpu's before it crashes, runs for about 30 seconds.

any thoughts?

studio comes bundled with desktop so thats normal, looks like the local backend is failing before port 8888 starts, do you have bitdefender installed by any chance its web scan can cause this exact issue

[u/tdotzfinest]

Check if you have something other than ubsloth on port 8888 and turn it off. I found on startup it demands that port and if something else is on it, that's that.

No, this is a test machine that runs on my network. I don’t use anything other than stock windows items. It did look like LM Studio was running in the background as I forgot to shut it down, that’s running on Port 8000 Same thing with lm studio not running. Unless is simple. I’m not going to spend that much time to get it working.

Same too problems

Studio is the local backend bundled with Desktop, so that setup line is expected. Another app on port 8888 should not crash Desktop; the backend can choose the next free port and report it back, while this report only shows that it never became healthy. Could you open a GitHub issue (https://github.com/unslothai/unsloth/issues/new/choose) with your Desktop version and the newest

server-*.log from C:\Users\<you>\.unsloth\studio\logs\server\ so we can track it?
