Repeated "Kernel died, restarting" forever

Question

When I attempt to run

$ jupyter qtconsole

The console shows up, with the message

Kernel died, restarting
________________________
Kernel died, restarting
________________________
Kernel died, restarting
________________________
Kernel died, restarting
________________________
Kernel died, restarting
________________________

Which continues.

Trying $ jupyter qtconsole --debug didn't print anything else, and neither has adding

c.Application.log_level = 0
c.Session.debug = True

into $USERHOME/.jupyter/jupyter_qtconsole_config.py

Also, I found nothing in $USERHOME/.ipython/profile_default/log/ and the other directories around there.

Nothing has changed in my configuration since last time I started up jupyter-qtconsole.

How can I at least find out what's going wrong with the kernel? Surely there is some option in Jupyter to get the kernel's STDERR output to see what exception had upset it?

Answer 1

I run

spyder --show-console

when I receive in spyder

Kernel died, restarting

I see message in console

Intel MKL FATAL ERROR: Cannot load libmkl_p4m.so or libmkl_p4.so.

It was helpfull for me

conda install nomkl numpy scipy scikit-learn numexpr
conda remove mkl mkl-service

conda remove ipykernel ipython jupyter_client jupyter_core traitlets ipython_genutils
