kernel error

[haihan-yu]

I used conda install jupyter to install without a problem. Then I open the jupyter notebook, kernel error appears. I also use python -m IPython kernelspec install-self to reinstall kernel, but it cannot solve the problem

What do you get from jupyter kernelspec list?

[haihan-yu]

Hello, this is what I got, thanks! jupyter kernelspec list Available kernels: julia-0.3 /Users/haihan/Library/Jupyter/kernels/julia-0.3 python2 /Users/haihan/Library/Jupyter/kernels/python2

[takluyver]

Have a look in /Users/haihan/Library/Jupyter/kernels/python2/kernel.json. The first value in argv should be the path to a Python interpreter. What path has it got?

[haihan-yu]

Hello， thanks for your replies. the first argv is "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Resources/Python.app/Contents/MacOS/Python", thanks a lot!

[ronteo]

I had the same issue resolved it by running python2 -m ipykernel install --user

[chisoo]

@ronteo I had the same issue and this fixed it. Thanks!

[ronteo]

@chisoo You are very welcome. Glad it worked!

[foarruda]

@ronteo this fixed my jupyter too. Thanks a lot!!

I have the same issue.

After I check the argv path in my kernel.json what should I do?

Running jupyter kernelspec list gives me /home/aulon/.local/share/jupyter/kernels/python2,

but the argv value is /usr/bin/python2.

I tried replacing argv with /home/aulon/.local/share/jupyter/kernels/python2 and still the same error.

I feel like I am missing a database.

[W 06:54:04.215 NotebookApp] The signatures database cannot be opened; maybe it is corrupted or encrypted. You may need to rerun your notebooks to ensure that they are trusted to run Javascript. The old signatures database has been renamed to /home/aulon/.local/share/jupyter/nbsignatures.db.bak and a new one has been created.

@takluyver please, what do you suggest?

Thanks

For Anaconnda users issue can be fixed by changing python.exe to pythonw.exe

@saxenaPAWAN worked like a charm! Thank you!
