[Bug]: Non checkpoints found. Can't run without a checkpoint.

Checklist

• The issue exists after disabling all extensions
• The issue exists on a clean installation of webui
• The issue is caused by an extension, but I believe it is caused by a bug in the webui
• The issue exists in the current version of the webui
• The issue has not been reported before recently
• The issue has been reported before but has not been fixed yet

What happened?

I get the same error as this old bug report, but the proposed solution does not work - it references the installation instructions, specifically downloading the model, but I think that's out of date as I don't see that now. Where exactly do I get the model from, and where do I place it?

I'm new to all this, sorry if I'm doing something stupid but I've tried to get this working for a while on a couple of different machines. I'm on Fedora 40 if it makes any difference.

Steps to reproduce the problem

Install on a new install of Fedora 40:

pyenv install 3.11
pyenv global 3.11
wget -q https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui/master/webui.sh
export COMMANDLINE_ARGS="--skip-torch-cuda-test" # I found I needed these as my GPU wouldn't get recognised
python_cmd=python3 bash -x webui.sh

What should have happened?

Run and work correctly on a first-time install

What browsers do you use to access the UI ?

Google Chrome

Sysinfo

Sorry, I don't see the prompted option in the web UI and if I run webui.sh with --dump-sysinfo I get an AttributeError from python

### Additional information

_No response_

[w-e-w]

normally we download a checkpoint for you automatically but this happended
but the place we used to download the model deleted the model

• Update stable diffusion 1.5 URL #16460

it is recommended that you go download a model that you like from sites like https://civitai.com/models

• [Bug]: Stable diffusion model failed to load #16457

most mode should work at least the ones I checked

download the checkpoint you like but you need at least one
place it in your stable-diffusion-webui/models/Stable-diffusion
and launch webui

I've encountered this issue on a fresh install today, thanks for making an issue for this.

That's got me up and running, thanks very much @w-e-w !
