Hi I got exactly the same error, except I installed under my user’s home directory so the .cache directory is under there. The cache filename is exactly the same as yours lol
FYI. I’ve installed SD on fedora linux and am running:
```auto
python scripts/txt2img.py --prompt "a fish wearing a hat" --plms --ckpt sd-v1-4.ckpt --skip_grid --n_samples 1
```
This is the full error:
```auto
~/Developer/stable-diffusion/ python scripts/txt2img.py --prompt "small man with a big hat wearing pyjamas" --plms --ckpt sd-v1-4-full-ema.ckpt --skip_grid --n_samples 1
Global seed set to 42

Same issue here: was just fine a few hours ago and now I am unable to load SD model in 2 different colab environments.

Should be fixed now!
