Anaconda Navigator and Spyder not opening (Win 10) #10101

Closed jerryasher closed 5 years ago

jerryasher commented 5 years ago

Actual Behavior

I installed the latest version of Anaconda (Anaconda3-5.2.0-Windows-x86_64.exe) yesterday, today I find that anaconda-navigator and spyder will not open.

That's trying to open them from the Start Menu as well as from a anaconda prompt. Python and iPython seem to work fine.

Expected Behavior

I should get various guis for Anaconda Navigator and Spyder

Steps to Reproduce

I can't tell you how to reproduce it. I can tell you that I didn't touch Anaconda much apart from using conda to install r-essentials as well install kernels for jupyter and flake8. The latter install ended up downgrading several packages.

Anaconda or Miniconda version:

Anaconda3-5.2.0-Windows-x86_64.exe

You are mixing packages from defaults and conda-forge channel, so this will lead to problems on specific packages that are compiled, like Qt

You need to reinstall spyder and notebook from defaults and not conda-forge

jerryasher commented 5 years ago

Thanks. So I am a total noob with conda, and mostly have been installing things:

In the listing above, I see three channels

Can you give me any more guidance or link me to some documentation on when it's safe or dangerous to use anaconda or conda-forge or the differences between them? Or should I always be sticking to defaults?

goanpeca commented 5 years ago

In general, you should use conda-forge or defaults, but not a mix.

jerryasher commented 5 years ago

Okay, thank you, I'll see what happens!
