Can no longer start jupyter notebook

Notebook

I am running Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS and have been using jupyter notebooks for years.

Yesterday, I tried running it and found the following error:

$ jupyter notebook
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/notebook/traittypes.py", line 232, in _resolve_classes
    klass = self._resolve_string(klass)
  File "/home/fpoulin/.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/traitlets/traitlets.py", line 2015, in _resolve_string
    return import_item(string)
  File "/home/fpoulin/.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/traitlets/utils/importstring.py", line 33, in import_item
    module = __import__(package, fromlist=[obj])
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'jupyter_server.contents'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

  File "/usr/bin/jupyter-notebook", line 33, in <module>
    sys.exit(load_entry_point('notebook==6.4.8', 'console_scripts', 'jupyter-notebook')())

    warn(f"{klass} is not importable. Is it installed?", ImportWarning)
TypeError: warn() missing 1 required keyword-only argument: 'stacklevel'

Below are the specs of my system and I presume one of them is causing the problems. Can anyone tell me which one I should update or downgrade?

$ jupyter --version

It turns out that this fixed my problem.

pip install --upgrade notebook

“pip install --upgrade notebook”

That worked for me as well (12/23/2024)
