I’ve been using RunPod.io for a while now to learn and train LoRA building but recently I got an error which coming soon after Kohya_ss script are checking latents.

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

This is a very strange error which took me a long time to figure out how to fix, I tried various iterations and instance of Kohya_SS on RunPod.io but consistently got this error. Even in the pre-configured pod Stable Diffusion Kohya_ss ComfyUI

The error is due to SDXL_train_network.py file which need the following lines added at the start. This file is stored in the root of the Kohya_ss installation so all you need to do is edit the file and insert the two highlighted lines below.

import argparse
import torch

from PIL import ImageFile
ImageFile.LOAD_TRUNCATED_IMAGES = True

try:
    import intel_extension_for_pytorch as ipex

    if torch.xpu.is_available():
        from library.ipex import ipex_init

        ipex_init()
except Exception:
    pass
from library import sdxl_model_util, sdxl_train_util, train_util
import train_network

Run the Kohya_ss Training script or command line again and you should have success.
