ollama - 💡(How to fix) Fix Ollama pull will fully hang [1 comments, 2 participants]

Fix Plan

The fix involves restarting the WSL service and ensuring that the ollama process is properly terminated before restarting.

• Stop the ollama process: pkill -f ollama
• Shut down WSL: wsl --shutdown
• Restart WSL: wsl
• Restart the ollama process

Example code to automate the restart process:

#!/bin/bash
pkill -f ollama
wsl --shutdown
sleep 5
wsl
# restart ollama process

Save this script as a file (e.g., restart_ollama.sh), make it executable with chmod +x restart_ollama.sh, and then run it with ./restart_ollama.sh

Verification

To verify that the fix worked, check the ollama logs for the "pulling manifest" print statement after restarting the process.

Extra Tips

• Ensure that Codex is not running in VSCode (via WSL) while restarting ollama.
• If the issue persists, try updating ollama to the latest version.
