anaconda navigator problems #1234

Closed nklever closed 7 years ago

nklever commented 7 years ago

executing anaconda-navigator in a normal terminal, it runs fine, but running it from a user-defined command terminal profile it brings the following error:

File "~/anaconda3/lib/python3.5/site-packages/anaconda_navigator/api/conda_api.py", line 374, in set_root_prefix self.ROOT_PREFIX = info['root_prefix'] TypeError: byte indices must be integers or slices, not str

The same problem arrives, if you set up anaconda-navigator into the ubuntu starter dashboard

@nklever could you open a terminal and type

$ conda info and paste the result here and then

$ conda list and paste the result here again.

Cheers

goanpeca commented 7 years ago

It seems that a a user-defined command terminal profile does not include conda on the PATH which is a requirement for conda and Navigator to work properly.

nklever commented 7 years ago

You might be right - but this implies that anaconda navigator is not usable via the ubunta starter dashboard. The dashboard is built upon the Freedesktop Spec. Might be that a solution would be to start anaconda navigator using a shell script to extend the environment path and therefore wrapping the python script.

There is a new release available for Anaconda. You can download it from https://www.continuum.io/downloads

This release includes Anaconda Navigator 1.4.3 which includes several fixes and improvements.

You can update it by typing in the command prompt $ conda install anaconda-navigator

This should be fixed by the latest version, please reopen if this is not the case.
