# Jupyter not displaying

## post by erdi28 on Nov 20, 2024

In the last couple of days, whichever instance I use, the system does not display the notebook content. When I upload regular ipython files (test.ipynb) and click open, nothing shows up despite the fact that I work with the same files locally, see the attached image. Because of this, I had to create a new notebook on Lambda Labs and populate it manually. Restarting the instance does not solve the problem.

Thanks for any help!

I have the same problem. I hope it gets resolved soon.

The fix for this issue is pretty simple:

1. Open the Jupyter Terminal from the Jupyter terminal
2. Run the following commands:
   
   ```bash
   source ~/.lambda/bin/activate
   pip install notebook jupyterlab==4.3.0 --upgrade
   sudo systemctl restart lambda-jupyter
   ```

3. Reload your browser window

The root cause is a bug upstream [#7523](https://github.com/jupyter/notebook/issues/7523). I’ve confirmed these steps work in both the Jupyter terminal or via SSH.

I followed the same steps for a “test.ipynb” file I uploaded. Still the same problem persists on multiple different instances.

Again, I can work with the same file locally without any problem.
