Hello! I’m new here. I couldn’t find a topic with my problem.  
I’ve installed miniconda and also jupyter lab.  
I was trying to setup everything following this instructions for a class:

conda activate control  
conda install numpy scipy matplotlib  
conda install -c conda-forge ipympl  
conda install -c conda-forge jupyterlab  
conda install -c conda-forge control slycot  
conda activate control  
jupyter lab

There is no error message. Just a blank page with local host address.

I’ve seen this happen before on other systems. Does the browser have any plugins installed?

You may want to post the output of `jupyter lab --debug`.

Thanks for this:

I also have maybe a similar problem… If this is different I also could add a new topic:

I normally start my lab on a remote ubuntu machine (and norymally everything works fine, except for this ONE machine 🙂 ):

```auto

[C 2022-02-14 13:06:02.908 ServerApp]

    To access the server, open this file in a browser:
        file:///home/eouser/.local/share/jupyter/runtime/jpserver-8549-open.html
    Or copy and paste one of these URLs:

```

So, everything seems to be normal, but if I copy/paste the adress to browser, the lab is not loaded:

This is what --debug gives me:
