jupyter notebook (and lab) kernel dies when showing geometry column

Hey, not sure if this is a jupyter update, or what, but I’m getting kernel death on:

import geopandas as gpd
path = gpd.datasets.get_path('nybb')
df = gpd.read_file(path)
df.head()

but no death when

df.drop('geometry', axis=1).head()

in both firefox and chrome in both jupyter notebook (5.0.0) and lab (0.32.1) using geopandas (0.3.0) on linux (ubuntu & arch). If this can’t replicate, fine, but I’ve tried all I know how to fix it.

How did you solve this issue??

I’m using conda: many things I tried didn’t work (updating any/all packages and trying older versions), but what was successful fixing this issue was a complete Anaconda uninstall and reinstall.
