Is it possible to use JupyterLab desktop completely offline?

[tomatosauce-man]

I ask using a translation app because I am not very good at English.
So, I apologize in advance.

I am a beginner in using "JupyerLab desktop" and am also a beginner in programming.

What I want to do using JupyterLab desktop is machine learning research, mainly using scikit-learn.

When conducting research, I basically work in a place that can be connected to an online environment, but there are times when I need to work in an offline environment as well.

However, when I try to open an ipynb file from the list of recently opened files on the app's start screen in an offline environment, it stops at "create new session" and an error message is displayed.

The same behavior also occurs when trying to create a new notebook or session in an offline environment.

Can "JupyterLab desktop" be used in a completely offline environment?

I would appreciate it if you could let me know if there is a solution. Thank you.

@tomatosauce-man JupyterLab, and JupyterLab Desktop, should function on a computer with no network connectivity.

In JupyterLab Desktop version 4.2.1-1, I can start the app, create a new notebook, and run a cell without any network connectivity. I'm on macOS "Sonoma" 14.5.

@tomatosauce-man Which operating system and version are you using with JupyterLab Desktop?

@JasonWeill
Thank you for reply.
OS is Windows 11 Pro 23H2
JupyterLab Desktop version is 4.2.1-1

I'm wondering if this is due to the Python library or if there is something I've overlooked in the settings for the JupyterLab Desktop app.
