hello, I am new here in the forum. I am a retired analyst who tinkers with Python, Tensorflow, PyTorch etc. I have an older Dell Optiplex 760 desktop which I use for some of my ML exercises. Running TF and TF2 on the Ubuntu 20.04 desktop there was non problems, how when I upgraded from Ubuntu 20.04 to Ubuntu 21.04, none of my Python scripts with TF2 would work. as soon as the script tried to run “Import Tensorflow as tf” , I would get the message “the kernel appears to have died, it will restart automatically”.
While its an older computer with 4 megs of ram, the same scripts ran very well on a Ubuntu 20.04 machine with the same specs. I thought that I would ask the question here in case anyone had similar experiences.
+1. What @mihaimaruseac suggested can help reproduce the error and potentially find a solution. A list of steps with conda/pip commands you took to install TensorFlow and other packages could help.
Since you’re on Linux, you could try Docker (as @Aure suggested) or venv (a virtual environment) to isolate TensorFlow from the rest of the Python packages, then install tensorflow and maybe jupyterlab and see if that fixes your issue.
Thanks, I’ll try the venv route as suggested. set up a venv just for tf and see how it works. Damn thing is I have an older laptop running Ubuntu 20.04 with Tensorflow 2.2.9 and it works without this issue
