Unable to start kernel - Waiting for Jupiter Session to be Idle (Kernel fails to start as completions request crahes without sending a response back)

See original GitHub issue

Applies To

  • Notebooks (.ipynb files)
  • Interactive Window and/or Cell Scripts (.py files with #%% markers)

What happened?

First of all - thank you so much for making this extension!

Expected: I run docker container tensorflow/tensorflow:2.6.0-gpu-jupyter on my server that has a GPU, since I am connecting from a M1 Mac. I have used this for weeks without issue. I would connect to the server with IP + token and the system would just work.

Actually:

  • I restarted my docker container yesterday on the server and opened VSCode. I think the plug-in as able to connect to my server, but when I try to run any cells, it just says Connecting to kernel: Python 3: Waiting for Jupiter Session to be idle. This message stays up for hours even.
  • In the top right, where I would select the kernel also, I always thought it would say (Remote) next to the kernel name, so I’m not sure if now my system and the server’s kernels are getting confused?
  • I logged into the jupyter URL via browser and was able to see Notebook running so it’s like commands are being sent but not received. I wonder if the ZeroMQ error is related as mentioned at the top of the Jupyter Logs output.

Anyways, I pasted the Jupyter extension logs below. To help explain the logs better and put a few character returns in for easier reading.

  • Everything up to and including 09:50:32: This is me just starting up VSCode
  • 09:51:08 - This is me connecting to the server by specifying the URI + token
  • 09:51:52 - This is mean trying to execute a cell.

@JorisDeRidder please install the latest pre-release version of the jupyter extension and it should work. when you go into the extension panel ensure you install pre-release version.
