Description

I have worked through the README's Installing on own machine, but when I now launch either

llm -m llama2 'difference between a llama and an alpaca'

or

llm chat -m llama2

, I only get Aborted.

How can I find out what the problem ist?
Would it be possible to get a better error message here?

I have got this machine (screenfetch excerpt) with 12GB VRAM:

OS: Debian 11 bullseye
Kernel: x86_64 Linux 5.10.0-21-amd64
Disk: 1,5T / 1,8T (86%)
CPU: Intel Xeon E5-2660 v3 @ 40x 3,3GHz
GPU: GeForce GTX TITAN X
RAM: 23279MiB / 128840MiB

and from nVidia:
GPU driver 460.32.03, CUDA 11.2.2, cuDNN 8.1.0,
so TensorFlow 2.9.1 runs on GPU here.
