Cannot run Jupyter Notebook (nor JupyterLab) on FreeBSD

JupyterHub discuss
1

Hi, after a couple of days of failures I come here for help. I’m trying to install Jupyter Notebook on a FreeBSD 12.1 Jail, but there’s an issue preventing the ipykernel to start.

To install I followed this tutorial: https://project.altservice.com/issues/923

I can open the notebook on the browser, but when I do a simple operation, like “1+1” the result never shows and the server console shows this:

[root@jupyterlab ~]# service jupyter start
[root@jupyterlab ~]# Need to remove all those ^M characters from a DOS file? Try

    tr -d \\r < dosfile > newfile

Any hint?

@leonardorame , try to use prebuilt package: https://www.freshports.org/www/py-notebook/ , like:
pkg install py37-notebook

It will install all required packages but it doesn’t contain the rc-script for autostart.

Hi @nomoo, I installed py37-notebook in a new jail and I’ve got the same result:
