Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/1962

Originally assigned to: @dhiltgen on GitHub.

1)I had copied models (blobs and manifests) from my mac to /usr/share/ollama/.ollama/models/manifests folder.
2)I was able to see them when I ran ollama list.
3)I then installed nvdia drivers and CUDA.
4)Now I am not able to see the models.

ollama list models shows the following
NAME ID SIZE MODIFIED

5)How to fix this issue?

I'm not sure if Linux is the same on Mac running Ollama. But I tried this on Ubuntu. I had to be certain that I have copied the files as root and everything worked fine.

After doing the copy, I have to ensure that permission was set for all files and directories and subs:

chown -R user:user /usr/share/ollama/ because when you copy as root, the directories are owned by root:root.

@PriyaranjanMaratheDish I would tend to agree this sounds like it may be a permission problem of not setting ownership to the ollama user/group. If you're still having problems with this, please share a little more information. sudo ls -lR /usr/share/ollama/.ollama/models and also share the server log so we can see what happens at startup.
