LoRA weight merging giving torch distributed error on single-node single-gpu

I am running this notebook. However, when I try to merge LoRA and model weights before exporting to TensorRTLLM (python /opt/NeMo/scripts/nlp_language_modeling/merge_lora_weights/merge.py). I received the following error:

Initializing distributed: GLOBAL_RANK: 0, MEMBER: 1/1

Comienza con finetuning/Gemma/lora.ipynb y /opt/NeMo/scripts/nlp_language_modeling/merge_lora_weights/merge.py y, a continuación, reproduce la combinación en un único nodo y una única GPU usando los overrides indicados. Investiga por qué la inicialización distribuida intenta enlazar el puerto 53747 al restaurar el modelo. Se considera terminado cuando los pesos de LoRA y del modelo se combinan correctamente para la configuración indicada sin que se produzca el error de socket.
