Dead Kernel with new Julia 0.5.1 notebook #494

Closed gdowdy3 closed 7 years ago

gdowdy3 commented 7 years ago

When I try to create a new Julia 0.5.1 notebook, I get an error message saying

The kernel appears to have died. It will restart automatically.

Moments later, I get the longer error message:

The kernel has died, and the automatic restart has failed. It is possible the kernel cannot be restarted. If you are not able to restart the kernel, you will still be able to save the notebook, but running code will no longer work until the notebook is reopened.

The dialog box containing this message has two buttons: "Try restarting now" and "Don't restart". If I click "Try restarting now", the kernel just dies again, leading me back to the same error message.

I experienced the error on my PC, running Juliabox in Chrome. My friend saw the same error on her Mac, running Juliabox in Firefox.

Signing in and out of Juliabox does not fix the error.

Try deleting your ~/.julia as mentioned in #424

That did the trick! Thanks, @nkottary!

To give a slightly more detailed solution for those who encounter this problem in the future, here's what I did:

  1. Click on the little wrench in the top right corner of the JuliaBox window.

  2. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on the "Reset my packages" button.

  3. Click through the confirmation messages.
