Server that creates terminals failed to start

Description of your problem

When shutting down Spyder, I get the error message attached. This occurred after upgrading to version 5.3.0 with -c conda-forge.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Open Spyder
Close Spyder

What is the expected output? What do you see instead? I expect untroubled serenity, except for my own appalling code. Instead, I get told to come here.

Please provide any additional information below I’ve attached the error log. Github wouldn’t allow me to attach the out log as it is empty. Additionally, the terminal itself does not fill the entire space allotted to it, though it seems otherwise open. A simple dir command worked.

Also, the terminal no longer appears in Tools > Preferences > Plugins.

Hmm, now it doesn’t seem to be happening anymore. [Edit: it’s back. I had a different instance of Spyder previously open, which seems to have suppressed the error.] I still get the tag size sanity bit in the terminal though.
