### Description

Hi all, I am new in this field and I managed to setup Llama3 + Verba + Weaviate. However I am now stuck on error “no chunks available” when trying to chat after adding documents. In the log, there is error message like this

```auto
✔ Received query: tell me about owaps testing
✘ The query retriever result in the window retriever contains an error:
({'locations': [{'column': 6, 'line': 1}], 'message': 'get vector input from
modules provider: VectorFromInput was called without vectorizer', 'path':
['Get', 'VERBA_Chunk_OLLAMA']})
ℹ No data found for VERBA_Chunk_OLLAMA.
ℹ Retrieved Context of 0 tokens
✔ Succesfully processed query: tell me about owaps testing in 0.02s

```

### Server Setup Information

- Ubuntu 20.4

- Weaviate Server Version: semitechnologies/weaviate:1.24.2

- Deployment Method: Docker Compose taken from [GitHub - weaviate/Verba: Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) chatbot powered by Weaviate](https://github.com/weaviate/Verba)

### Any additional Information

These are indicators from Verba Overview (since I couldn’t put screenshot here)

- VERBA\_Chunk\_OLLAMA 4629
- VERBA\_Config 1
- VERBA\_Document\_OLLAMA 1
- docx Available
- openai Available
- pypdf Available
- tiktoken Available
- OLLAMA\_EMBED\_MODEL Available
- OLLAMA\_MODEL Available
- OLLAMA\_URL Available
- WEAVIATE\_URL\_VERBA Available

Hopefully all these information are sufficient to describe what is gone wrong. Thank in advance

Regards,  
YP.Ajie

Hi! Welcome to our community! 🤗

Do you see success logs when importing the data?

Can you connect to the server and make sure the data is correctly indexed?

Thanks!

Hello! I installed Verba for the first time last night and ran into the same issue. What worked for me is making sure I downloaded the models in Ollama prior to running Verba.

```auto
~$ ollama run llama3
~$ ollama run mxbai-embed-large

```

Ctrl+C and then run Verba and Ollama server as usual, see if that works.

what was happening is I did not define the OLLAMA\_EMBED\_MODEL so the embeder falling back to OLLAMA\_MODEL which is llama3 and embeding could not be done with it
