Bug Report: Installation fails on Debian 13 (Trixie)

Hello,

I'm trying to install Stable Diffusion WebUI using the official installation script.

I downloaded and started the installer with:

wget -q https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui/master/webui.sh
bash webui.sh

During installation I get the following output:

glibc version is 2.41
Check TCMalloc: libtcmalloc_minimal.so.4
libtcmalloc_minimal.so.4 is linked with libc.so, execute LD_PRELOAD=/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtcmalloc_minimal.so.4

After that, the installation fails with:

venv/bin/python: can't open file '/home/stable-diffusion-webui/launch.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory

System Information

• OS: Debian GNU/Linux 13 (Trixie)
• glibc: 2.41
• Installation method: Official webui.sh installer from the AUTOMATIC1111 GitHub repository

It looks like launch.py is missing or the repository is not being cloned correctly before the script tries to execute it.

Has anyone experienced the same issue on Debian 13, or is this a known problem?

webui.sh is not an installer
It expects to already sit inside the cloned repo so on its own it makes a venv then looks for a launch.py that was never downloaded

git clone https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui
cd stable-diffusion-webui
./webui.sh

On Trixie the default python3 is 3 13 which torch wheels do not cover
Point the script at 3 11

sudo apt install python3.11-venv
python_cmd=python3.11 ./webui.sh

The tcmalloc and glibc lines are normal
