Jupyter Notebook's RISE Missing Slideshow Button

Question

I followed the instructions on installing RISE for Jupyter notebook with Anaconda (conda) but the "Enter/Exit RISE Slideshow" button never showed in the toolbar.

I followed the recommendations on solving the problem in the two closed RISE issues (#137, #275), but with no luck. I updated Jupyter to the latest version, started a new notebook, hard refreshed the browser page, reinstalled Rise and still no button.

I also saw this SO question, which is different from my case since I never saw the button, and I do not have nbextensions to begin with. Still, their recommendation did not work.

For practical reasons, I cannot have a separate environment just for RISE and presentation making.

I'm having the same problem on two machines, with different operating systems and different Conda packages, so it may be a RISE package problem. On one of the machines, I have:

• Google Chrome 66.0.3359.117 (64-bit)
• conda 4.5.1 with python 3.6.4
• jupyter 1.0.0
• jupyter_core 4.3.0
• notebook 5.0.0
• rise 5.2.0 py36_0 damianavila82
• MacOS High Sierra (10.13.4)

My conda packages seem to be in good shape and without missing dependencies too.

$ jupyter nbextension list
Known nbextensions:
  config dir: /Users/welshamy/Applications/anaconda3/etc/jupyter/nbconfig
    notebook section
      jupyter-js-widgets/extension  enabled 
      - Validating: OK
      rise/main  enabled 
      - Validating: OK

Answer 1

This is a package compatibility issue. I solved the problem by doing the following:

1. Upgrade conda packages from the command line:

   $ conda update --all
   

2. Restart jupyter-notebook session.

3. Restart web browser.
4. Open a new notebook.
5. Done.

Answer 2

pip install RISE
pip install jupyterlab_rise

I don't think the new version of rise has a button option in jupyter notebook anymore.

I installed rise and refreshed the web page, and the web page didn't show button. but I noticed that the browser disables popup behavior. Allowed popups, refreshed the page, and automatically popped to a page showing the jupyter notebook slideshow.

Switch jupyternotebook to jupyterlab, there is a button for slideshow in the top right corner, click on it to show it as a slideshow.

Your post is leaving it a lot of details and as a result it may confuse more than it helps. In particular you are not using versions in reference to Jupyter interfaces. The latest says at the top here for 'latest'(5.7.2.dev2): "Please be aware that the extension built from this repo is not compatible with JupyterLab and must be used with the classic notebook. JupyterLab and Notebook 7 users are encouraged to use the RISE JupyterLab extension instead". However, you don't say if you are using Jupyter Notebook 7+ or NbClassic or give any version ... – Barquisimeto

<continued> information at all. If you are not aware, Jupyter Notebook 7+ is built on JupyterLab tech and so is quite different than Jupyter Notebook version 6.5 and below and different than NbClassic. Please see references here if you need more help understanding. As a result of all that, I question if your statement "I don't think the new version of rise has a button option in jupyter notebook anymore" is valid. I cannot judge what you reference or if you adequately tested based on your limited information. – Barquisimeto

This is my supplementary details, including python version, jupyter version and the extension version. via: i.imgur.com/0EWtqPX.png – Hindoo

Answer 3

Just restart the browser if not create a new notebook

Answer 4

I had the same issue!

Here is what I did to resolve the issue:

1. First I install the pip library of rise

    pip install RISE

2. Then, I run the conda command

    conda install -c conda-forge rise

3. Now, Activate your conda

    conda activate

4. Now, run the below command.

    jupyter nbextension install rise --py --user

5. last, enable nbextension to use rise

    jupyter nbextension enable rise --py --user
