# How to troubleshoot issues
|
|
|
|
Sometimes Ollama may not perform as expected. One of the best ways to figure out what happened is to take a look at the logs. Find the logs on **Mac** by running the command:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
cat ~/.ollama/logs/server.log
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
On **Linux** systems with systemd, the logs can be found with this command:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
journalctl -u ollama
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
When you run Ollama in a **container**, the logs go to stdout/stderr in the container:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
docker logs <container-name>
|
|
```
|
|
(Use `docker ps` to find the container name)
|
|
|
|
If manually running `ollama serve` in a terminal, the logs will be on that terminal.
|
|
|
|
When you run Ollama on **Windows**, there are a few different locations. You can view them in the explorer window by hitting `<cmd>+R` and type in:
|
|
- `explorer %LOCALAPPDATA%\Ollama` to view logs
|
|
- `explorer %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\Ollama` to browse the binaries (The installer adds this to your user PATH)
|
|
- `explorer %HOMEPATH%\.ollama` to browse where models and configuration is stored
|
|
- `explorer %TEMP%` where temporary executable files are stored in one or more `ollama*` directories
|
|
|
|
To enable additional debug logging to help troubleshoot problems, first **Quit the running app from the tray menu** then in a powershell terminal
|
|
```powershell
|
|
$env:OLLAMA_DEBUG="1"
|
|
& "ollama app.exe"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Join the [Discord](https://discord.gg/ollama) for help interpreting the logs.

## LLM libraries
|
|
|
|
Ollama includes multiple LLM libraries compiled for different GPUs and CPU
|
|
vector features. Ollama tries to pick the best one based on the capabilities of
|
|
your system. If this autodetection has problems, or you run into other problems
|
|
(e.g. crashes in your GPU) you can workaround this by forcing a specific LLM
|
|
library. `cpu_avx2` will perform the best, followed by `cpu_avx` an the slowest
|
|
but most compatible is `cpu`. Rosetta emulation under MacOS will work with the
|
|
`cpu` library.
|
|
|
|
In the server log, you will see a message that looks something like this (varies
|
|
from release to release):
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Dynamic LLM libraries [rocm_v6 cpu cpu_avx cpu_avx2 cuda_v11 rocm_v5]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Experimental LLM Library Override**
|
|
|
|
You can set OLLAMA_LLM_LIBRARY to any of the available LLM libraries to bypass
|
|
autodetection, so for example, if you have a CUDA card, but want to force the
|
|
CPU LLM library with AVX2 vector support, use:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
OLLAMA_LLM_LIBRARY="cpu_avx2" ollama serve
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can see what features your CPU has with the following.
|
|
```
|
|
cat /proc/cpuinfo| grep flags | head -1
|
|
```
|

|
## Installing older or pre-release versions on Linux
|
|
|
|
If you run into problems on Linux and want to install an older version, or you'd
|
|
like to try out a pre-release before it's officially released, you can tell the
|
|
install script which version to install.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
curl -fsSL https://ollama.com/install.sh | OLLAMA_VERSION="0.1.29" sh
|
|
```
