Issue starting new jupyter notebook (says For debugging purposes, this card will be retained for 6 more days)

Get Help
1

Dear All, I am trying to create an instance of jupyter notebook. It first shows “Your session is currently starting… Please be patient as this process can take a few minutes.” but then instead of starting the notebook it goes to “For debugging purposes, this card will be retained for 6 more days”. I tried to debug this and found that when script.sh runs to launch the Jupyter Notebook Server it gives the below error. I guess that it happened cause I tried to install a few python packages (matplotlib, matplotlib_inline and IPython). Is there any way to fix this?

Thanks

Hello, and welcome!

In searching for potential causes of your first error, I came across this: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'jupyter_server.contents' switching to Python kernel · Issue #24436 · microsoft/azuredatastudio · GitHub - which makes it look like you might be facing a known issue with a recent version of traitlets. Can you check what happens if you run the following:

pip uninstall traitlets
pip install traitlets==5.9.0

I followed this article and already tried to uninstall traitlets in the interactive shell. It says that it cannot install this as it is not installed. If I tried installing it it would give some installation error as shown below.

Uninstalling error:
Cannot uninstall requirement traitlets, not installed
You are using pip version 8.1.2, however version 24.0 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the ‘pip install --upgrade pip’ command.

I resolved the issue. I was not importing the correct modules before uninstalling traitlets. Thanks for the help. The method suggested by you worked after I imported the correct modules.
