i've installed ipython and ipython qtconsole ion Ubuntu 12.04. I have 2 icons in my apps menu, 1 for each. When i click on the ipython icon, nothing seems to happen. When i click on the qtconsole it opens but no cursor or prompt appears. Don't believe it's frozen, the menu opens and i can choose help etc, but no cursor or anyway to interact with the beast. When it opens i get this displied: Python 2.7.3 (default, Apr 20 2012, 22:44:07) Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. IPython 0.12.1 -- An enhanced Interactive Python. ? -> Introduction and overview of IPython's features. %quickref -> Quick reference. help -> Python's own help system. object? -> Details about 'object', use 'object??' for extra details. %guiref -> A brief reference about the graphical user interface. Tried the Terminal, ipython works fine and qtconsole opens but once again no prompt or cursor. get this error msg. produces this output.
