No output from running cells after installation on Windows

Description

I installed on Windows using the instructions in the README file. Everything appears fine, except running cells produces no output; e.g. if I open a new notebook, create a code cell with the code print(‘here’), and click the “run the selected cells and advance” button, the curser advances but no output is produced. Re-installing doesn’t fix this.

Reproduce

1. Download .exe file from https://github.com/jupyterlab/jupyterlab-desktop/blob/master/README.md
2. Install following setup prompts
3. Open new notebook from the launcher
4. Type any command that should produce output (e.g. a print statement)
5. Click run cell

Expected behavior

Output should be produced but it isn’t. The curser moves to the next cell but no output is produced.

Context

• Operating System and version: Windows 10 pro
• JupyterLab-Desktop version: Version 3.2.5-2
• Installer: .exe

Hmm… the terminal doesn’t recognize this command.
You may want to sanitize the paths in the output.

Browser Output (required for interface issues after loading)

Paste the output from the DevTools JavaScript console here, if applicable.

Logs (required for issues with loading, server and startup)

Paste the logs from the mian.log file here.
C:\Users<username>\AppData\Roaming\jupyterlab-desktop\logs  exists as a path, but main.log is not there.

Thanks! the main.log file is still not there though.

I cannot access this file. The %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\jupyterlab-desktop\logs\main.log filepath does not exist.

Could you try to look once again in similar paths? It might be in a slightly different path:

• because of differences between Windows versions
• because of differences between installations
• because there is a typo

%USERPROFILE% may correspond to C:\Users\yourusername - Windows should recognise this variable when you use it in command line.

Hi, Actually, it looks like while that solution worked the first time, when I try to launch JupyterLab the same way again it doesn’t work. The first time (a few days ago) that I ran:

C:\JupyterLab\resources\jlab_server\condabin\activate

jlab .

It opened successfully. But now when I run the activate command, I get: [image: image.png]

If I try just running the jlab command without the activate command first, a dialog box pops up asking me to select the Python environment to use, but when I select “Use the bundled Python environment”, click “save and restart,” the dialog box simply pops up again in an endless cycle. I could try "Use custom Python environment, but I am not sure how to do that. [image: image.png]

@PhilipTsv https://github.com/PhilipTsv @astroStudent123 https://github.com/astroStudent123 Check if the workaround in #388 https://github.com/jupyterlab/jupyterlab-desktop/issues/388 helps you. In my case, double clicking on the desktop shortcut resulted in no outputs from the cells. But, activating conda and then starting jlab as in #388 https://github.com/jupyterlab/jupyterlab-desktop/issues/388 worked.
