Kernel does not start in jupyter notebook when using other anaconda environment then base.
I created a new environment called ‘idp’ with Intel optimized libraries, but when I run ‘jupyter notebook’ , The kernel does never start up. When I go back to ‘base’ environment it works again.
What can I do to make it work in any of my personal environments ?
I am using Anaconda on Windows 10.
May you elucidate what you mean by “the kernel does never start up”? You created the conda environment, did you add the environment as a kernel using ipykernel?

Jupyter Notebook and Jupyter kernels are different things. You write that you have installed a kernel in a separate conda env, but have you also installed notebook there?
Anaconda has some special logic that can detect kernels across all conda environments on a machine. If you want to rely on that, you have to run “jupyter notebook” from the conda environment in which Jupyter Notebook and the special Anaconda logic is installed, then create a notebook with the kernel from your separate environment.
I start my new environment as follow:
conda activate idp
I run jupyter as follow:
jupyter notebook
In Jupiter I select ‘New’ and then ‘Python (idp)’
When it starts up my new notebook there is a block above that sais:
Kernel stating . Please wait …
It never starts up , ut waits forever. After a while I get a pop up saying it can’t connect.
That doesn’t sound like a problem caused by using a different conda environment. I’d rather suspect a setup problem with the Intel optimized libraries, which causes the kernel to crash on startup.
Have you take a look at the console output or log files generated by Jupyter?
So , this is what I did when I tried with a brand new environment …
conda create -n testenv
conda activate testenv
conda install jupyter
conda install ipykernel
python -m ipykernel install --user --name=testenv
I checked to see if my kernel.json file was correct in:
C:\Users\Frank\AppData\Roaming\jupyter\kernels\testenv
then I run:
jupyter notebook
I click on New an select notebook ‘testenv’
I get a screen that sais …

My terminal output …

FYI …
I tried all the above on my MacBook IOS , and it totally worked . On my Windows 10 I’m still totally unsucsessful …
Please compare the Tornado versions installed in testenv on Mac and Windows.
Hi, I’m facing the same issue … Did you find any solution?
When this issue originated, there was some churn to get Tornado 6 supported across the Jupyter eco-system - which is where I believe @rolweber was heading. For example, this particular issue was resolved in nbconvert 5.4.1.
I recommend upgrading the various packages listed in jupyter --version.
