Restarting non-stop in windows.

[AyushPoddar351]

When I open the app, terminal keep popping up and down. I checked the logs and found openhuman was restarting itself continuously. Is this a windows issue or something else? please help me out here.

This sounds like a crash-restart loop — the app launches, crashes, and the launcher restarts it repeatedly, causing the terminal to flash.

Most likely causes:

1. Model not found / wrong model name

python
ml = LLM("my_model", ...) # "my_model" must exactly match what's in Ollama
Run this to check available models:

bash
ollama list
If my_model isn't there, either pull it or fix the name in your code.

2. Ollama server isn't running The app tries to connect to Ollama on startup and crashes if it's not up. Run:

bash
ollama serve
Then launch your app again.

3. Unhandled exception crashing the script Add a try/except in testing() to see the actual error instead of it silently crashing:

python
def testing():
ml = LLM("my_model", 0.4, 40, 128)
while True:
try:
question = input("You: ")
if question == "done":
return
print(ml.chat(question))
except Exception as e:
print(f"Error: {e}")
break
4. A .bat or launcher is auto-restarting on crash If you're launching via a .bat file or something like PM2/NSSM, it may be configured to restart on exit. Check if your launcher looks like:

batch
:loop
python app.py
goto loop ← this causes the flash loop
Remove the loop or add an exit condition.

To diagnose quickly, run the script directly from a terminal:

bash
python your_script.py

It sounds like you've correctly diagnosed the crash-restart loop. When a terminal "flashes," it’s almost always because the process is hitting an unhandled exception immediately upon execution, closing the window, and being revived by a supervisor script or batch file.

Since you are working with an LLM integration (likely via a library like langchain-ollama or a custom wrapper), the connection handshake is the most common point of failure.

1. Refined Diagnostic Block
   To stop the window from disappearing before you can read the error, wrap your entire initialization, not just the loop. If the LLM class fails to instantiate (which happens if the model name is wrong), the code never even reaches your while loop.

issue.py

2. Identify the "Launcher"
   If you are seeing a loop, check the file you are double-clicking.

If it's a .py file: Windows doesn't natively "loop" python scripts. If it's restarting, you might have a wrapper script.

If it's a .bat or .cmd file: Right-click and Edit. If you see :loop or goto start, that is your culprit. Add pause at the end to catch the error.

Issue | Fix -- | -- Ollama Port | By default, Ollama runs on localhost:11434. If you changed the port, your LLM class needs the base URL. Model Loading | If you have low VRAM, the app might crash because the system kills the process when Ollama tries to allocate memory. Environment | Ensure you are running the script in the same environment where your dependencies (like requests or ollama) are installed.

3. The "Quick Fix" Run Method
   Instead of double-clicking the file (which allows the window to close on crash), do this:

Open a terminal (Cmd or PowerShell).

Navigate to your folder: cd path/to/your/folder

Run it manually: python your_script.py

This forces the terminal to stay open regardless of whether the script crashes, allowing you to see the Traceback—which is the "DNA" of the problem.

Ok, this got fixed in the update. Even then, Thank you Guys for such good explanations. Saw similar errors in the logs of the app also.
