问题
I am running an ipython server (for the notebook) on a remote linux machine. I have setup a profile that listens on the remote machine such that I can access locally using:
https://myserver:9999
This launches the standard IPython notebook interface that you would expect to see (after authentication). Everything works as expected.
Recently I have started using matplotlib widgets. These do not work in the notebook if using inline plots (the server just ships pngs). The simple fix on a local machine is to use ipython notebook --pylab and omit --inline.
In my IPython notebook profile I have commented out:
#c.IPKernelApp.pylab = 'inline'
and I launch with ipython notebook --pylab.
Login still works as expected, but if I use the %pylab magic to get started the kernel dies.
EDIT: The %pylab magic is redundant if I launch with --pylab
Is it possible to attain interactivity by not using inline plots in a remote login environment like this? I imagine that I need to tell the server that it is forwarding not only the port 9999 ipython data, but also needs to be forwarding X. Any insight appreciated.
Thanks.
Edit2: Crap....got it - my XServer on the local box had died....I can report that this functions as expected as long as you actually have a live XServer locally...crap.
