My jupyter notebook julia Kernel suddenly started to present error


My julia notebooks were working fine but today this "kernel error" appeared and I don't know how to deal with this:

I tried to uninstall and install again both julia and IJulia but it didn't worked. I use linux Mint latest version.


Solution

  • It seems that your kernel points to a inexisting julia No such file or directory: '/snap/julia/13/bin/julia'

    How did you installed Julia ? I do not know very well snap, but it a tools to install some applications.

    If you have a console you could list the kernels by

    jupyter kernelspec list                                                  
    Available kernels:
    
    julia-1.8    /home/user/.local/share/jupyter/kernels/julia-1.8
    python3.9    /home/user/.local/share/jupyter/kernels/python3.9
    python3      /usr/share/jupyter/kernels/python3
    sagemath     /usr/share/jupyter/kernels/sagemath
    

    you could look at the file for example '/home/user/.local/share/jupyter/kernels/julia-1.8/kernel.json' inside you have information about the interpretor

     {
      "display_name": "Julia 1.8.1",
      "argv": [
      "/usr/bin/julia",
      "-i",
      "--color=yes",
      "--project=@.",
      "/home/user/.julia/packages/IJulia/someHASHNUMBER/src/kernel.jl",
      "{connection_file}"
      ],
      "language": "julia",
      "env": {},
      "interrupt_mode": "signal"
     }
    

    here you could see that the interpretor is /usr/bin/julia. Try to modify it, to points towards a good julia executable.

    Last point : to install IJulia, you use Pkg.add("IJulia") inside the REPL or it is your distro installator ?
