Anaconda-Jupyter Doesn't open in browser

Question

I installed Anaconda 3.7 on Ubuntu 18.04 (Bionic Beaver). Installation was successful. When I tried to start Jupyter Notebook from navigator it throws the following err

Answer 1

For me, this worked on Raspberry Pi4, Ubuntu 20.04, with Chromium Browser.

Generate the config file with following command.

jupyter notebook --generate-config

Config file is created at ~/.jupyter directory

Look for parameter c.NotebookApp.use_redirect_file and set the same as False.

c.NotebookApp.use_redirect_file = False in order to disable launching browser by redirect file .

Explanation:

For versions of notebook > 5.7.2, a security feature measure was added that prevented the authentication token used to launch the browser from being visible. This feature makes it difficult for other users on a multi-user system from running code in your Jupyter session as you. However, some environments (like Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) and Chromebooks), launching a browser using a redirect file can lead the browser failing to load. This is because of the difference in file structures/paths between the runtime and the browser.

Also make sure the ~/.local/share/jupyter and ~/.jupyter directories are owned by the user running jupyter
