How are you running AnythingLLM?

AnythingLLM desktop app

What happened?

I've installed fresh Ubuntu 24.04, installed AnythingLLM Desktop and created workspace.
It successfull processed PDF small file, less than 100KB, but failed processing relatively big PDF files 70MB+. It's only briefly showed in the upload box that documents failed
No error in the log. After failure only message "Document Processor Inavailable" in the upload box.

Same documents uploaded successfully on AnythingLLM Desktop on Windows and same Ubuntu 24.04 as WSL.

Are there known steps to reproduce?

  1. Use fresh Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and install AnythingLLM Desktop
  2. Run AnythingLLM Desktop
  3. Create workspace
  4. Upload 70+MB PDF documents
  5. See error

70MB+.

What are your system specs? It likely crashed due to OOM especially if this did not occur on Windows WSL + no logs.

You can check OOM on Ubuntu with grep -i kill /var/log/syslog IIRC
