python and kernel problems

[CecilieBebsi]

Type: Bug

I have never had a problem before, but suddenly vs code wants me to select a kernel, and then it says that the python kernel doesn't exist. This has never been a problem before, but now it even occurs in scripts I have written in vs code before the problem startet

VS Code version: Code 1.96.2 (fabdb6a30b49f79a7aba0f2ad9df9b399473380f, 2024-12-19T10:22:47.216Z)

Please can you share a screenshot of the message indicating the fact that the Python Kernel does not exist
Note: When every new notebook, you always need to select a kernel. Once you've selected a kernel for an existing notebook, you do not need to select a kernel again.

Please could you enable logging as follows:

• Open settings & go into Jupyter->Logging
• Change the value to trace
• Reload VS Code,
• Attempt to repro the issue & then copy the output from the Jupyter output panel (use the command Jupyter: Show Output to get to the logs).
