Bug#1011152: spyder: Console not starting. Spyder alerts : iPython 7.31.1 & qtconsole 5.3.0 not installed. But they are !

[epsommumule at virgilio.it]

Thank you very much !

Your command did not work in Spyder's console on the desktop, first because of the 3 at the end of pip, then because pressing the Y key at the prompt did not do anything. After googling how to force uninstall I found the command that worked for the desktop :

pip uninstall iPython -y

(I did not have a local qtconsole package installed)


In qemu, I typed this in a regular console since no console worked in Spyder :

python3 -m pip uninstall qtconsole iPython

Here the prompts accepted my Y presses.

I then had to do (probably because I closed spyder while it was reporting the error messages for a github bug report) :

killall spyder

Then Spyder started successfully !


Too bad your instructions are not included in Spyder's error messages to explain to people like me who are not pros what to do to solve such a simple problem !


Anyway, thank you again !


P.S. : the mail bounced because this mail address I use for bug reports had not been used for too long, and I had to renew the password.
