Topic: Jupyter kernel not starting


view this post on Zulip Patrick Bouffard (Feb 10 2021 at 20:47):

After updating to 1.6.0-rc1 (on Mac) I can't start a Julia kernel in Jupyter, though it does show up in the list. What I've been able to find on this so far advises to ] build IJulia which I've done.

What happens is a new notebook opens, I see the "Kernel starting, please wait..." message and then after about a minute I briefly see a "Connected" message in blue, and then right away that changes to a red "Dead kernel" and a dialog titled "Kernel Restarting" with the message "The kernel appears to have died. It will restart automatically." pops up.

Ideas?

Actually I'm not 100% sure this happened after the most recent 1.6.0-beta1 -> 1.6.0-rc1 update that I did, it's possible that it started happening after 1.5.3 -> 1.6.0-beta1.

Awesome, using the PR branch that fixes it (https://github.com/JuliaLang/IJulia.jl/pull/978) gets me up and running.
