GUI not loading, browser just shows blank page

I'm running linux and followed the installation instructions exactly, but when I run main.py it says

Opening that link in Firefox just displays a blank white page. I've tested and successfully generated images with EasyDiffusion on this system so it is capable of running SD. I've found another thread on another git page where someone had a similar issue but I'm not sure if that's relevant and if so how to translate that solution to this, https://github.com/ModelSurge/sd-webui-comfyui/issues/184, here is the link if that could possibly be helpful.
