prevent jupyterlab from automatically starting new session for all open tabs - jupyter-notebook

I shut down all kernels and close jupyterlab in the browser, but when I open it again it starts a session, and a kernel, for all opened notebooks
I'd followed the code and found that in jupyterlab notebook code the start session function calls (POST /api/sessions) on notebook load if there is not any running kernel for the current notebook. and the API creates a session and also starts a kernel.
I can't find any config for stopping this action in jupyter configs or jupyterlab settings (settings -> advanced settings editor)

You can prevent automatically starting kernels when you open a notebook by running Jupyterlab with the jupyter lab --LabServerApp.notebook_starts_kernel=False flag.
To make the configuration permanent, you can add
c.LabServerApp.notebook_starts_kernel = False to $(jupyter --config-dir)/jupyter_lab_config.py. If this file doesn't exist yet, generate it by running jupyter lab --generate-config.

Unable to set the kernel ("Not specified") for a jupyter notebook in Pycharm

As seen in the screenshot the kernel is "Not specified" and can not set since the dropdown is disabled. Can this be remedied?
The Project interpreter is python3 and otherwise for other file types the project works fine
I've run into the same issue of PyCharm not allowing me to select a Jupyter kernel other than the one that is saved to the notebook (the drop-down menu is either grayed-out as in your picture, or disappears altogether). This condition appears to occur when the kernel that was active when the notebook was saved is not available in the current environment. The only workaround I've found for this situation is:
Start a Jupyter notebook server using the same Python environment as you are using in PyCharm
From the Jupyter server web page, open the notebook
From the Kernel menu, select Change kernel, and then select the desired kernel
Save the notebook, then close/halt it
Re-open the notebook in PyCharm. It should then be able to execute with the kernel that was chosen in Step 3 above.

How to get Jupyter Lab to start fresh with no open kernels?

I've been using Jupyter Lab and everytime I open it, it has all of my notebooks from previous session open in Tabs and as open Kernels. I want to open my Jupyter with a fresh window that doesn't have anything I was working on previously.
How can I either modify my profile or Jupyter lab command to not include any previous Tabs or open Kernels?

Jupyter notebook seems to remember previous path (!pwd) after being moved to a different directory?

I initially had a notebook in one directory in AWS SageMaker JupyterLab, say /A, but then moved it into /A/B. However, when I run !pwd in a jupyter notebook cell, I still get /A. This happens even when I press 'restart kernel'. How does the notebook remember this, and is there a way to prevent or reset this?
Thanks
I was actually using AWS SageMaker, and restarting the kernel from the toolbar was not enough. I needed to restart the kernel session, by pressing 'shut down' in the "Running terminals and kernels" section on the left navigation.
They are currently discussing warning users about the need to restart the kernel when a notebook is moved.

Issue running jupyter notebook via wls

Installed WSL on Windows 10.
Installed Anaconda according to the Anaconda documentation with the following commands:
bash Anaconda3-2020.02-Linux-x86_64.sh
source ~/.bashrc
You can see the '(base)' in the beginning of each command input line, indicating the conda is activated.
Then I run jupyter notebook by typing:
jupyter notebook
Then I see the following changes as shown in the screen record.
Briefly, the WSL terminal window showed some information very quickly, but is changed to the windows powershell window before you could even tell the information that showed up. I know those information should contain a file and url for opening the jupyter notebook in the web browser. But they flashed out so quickly. Does anyone know why this happens?
Here is a dynamic graph of the Screen record of this issue:
Solved:
1. Wait for a bit more time on the windows cmd and the jupyter notebook running information will show up, where includes the url to open jupyter notebook in the web browser.
OR
Open up another wsl terminal, activate the same environment and type jupyter notebook list, which will show the current running jupyter notebook server. The url is also can be found there.

The Kernel in Jupyter Notebook does not respond when importing the ROOT framework

I am hoping to use pyRoot, the data analysis framework developed by CERN, by integrating it in a Jupyter notebook. That said, I believe that I did the proper installation of ROOT on my macOS 10.
When I launch the ROOT Jupyter notebook using the following command, it launches properly:
root --notebook
and I get the Jupyter notebook editor. However, whenever I start the notebook by:
import ROOT
The command is kept loading a pop up notification telling me that:
The kernel appears to have died. It will restart automatically.
