Error with Linux for google API Gemini AI

Question

My application was working a few weeks ago on Ubuntu Linux. It since has stopped working. I am now just trying to get anything to work from google, which works on my development windows PC. The following code works on my windows PC, it fails on my Linux server.

I have tried to re-install Ubuntu, downgrade python, install Debian on a different external IP address. I even re-generated a new API key with a different google account.

import google.generativeai as genai

#api key
genai.configure(api_key=GOOGLE_API_KEY)


for m in genai.list_models():
    print(m)
    if 'generateContent' in m.supported_generation_methods:
        print(m.name)

model = genai.GenerativeModel('gemini-pro')

response = model.generate_content("Are you working for me today?")
print(response.text)

ERROR:
