Kernel fail on matplotlib.pyplot.show()

[axhue]

Hey everyone!

I have been trying to get started with Jupyter and I keep hitting a wall of trying to show graphs inline! There was a previous issue closed where people used %matplotlib inline in a cell before plotting but that did not fix it for me. Also there is no error output on the cmd other than kernel restarting.

Here is the notebook: (I also tried it using only matplotlib but same thing happens without any output)

%matplotlib inline import seaborn as sns tips = sns.load_dataset('tips') sns.regplot(x='total_bill',y='tip',data=tips) Out[3]: <matplotlib.axes._subplots.AxesSubplot at 0x858ca70>

Here is my conda info --all command

Appreciate the help!

Try running %matplotlib inline in a separate cell beforehand. I forget if it affects that, but some things like that don't properly kick in until after the cell finishes running.

Oh, just saw you've already tried that, nevermind.

I am getting something very similar in Win10, also just starting with Jupyter and trying to create a plot after using the inline command. Kernel always restarts on the plot function call, with cmd window showing

Intel MKL FATAL ERROR: Cannot load mkl_intel_thread.dll. [I 22:46:57.825 NotebookApp] KernelRestarter: restarting kernel (1/5)

Windows gives a similar python.exe error saying that ordinal 225 could not be located in mkl_intel_thread.dll

I have completely uninstalled all other versions of python, and Anaconda itself a few times, with no change in the error.
