Problem get it running ...

[bulli92]

Hi,

I'd love to use the dynamic ipython slideshow for my teaching.
I am therefore trying to get RJSE/RISE running in my ipython notebook (v2.4). I have however trouble with the installation. I tried two different approaches:

a) cloning the current repo and then running python setup.py install
--> to my underanding, this installs directly in the ǹbextensions folder

b) running the script Install_RJSE.ipynb
--> which downloads the tagged 2.x version and generates a profile.

However, in both cases I have trouble getting the slideshow running. The button to activate the slideshow is available. When I press it, I however get NO presentation. Instead, the ipython notebook pager page opens at the bottom of the notebook (this is where typically the help/documentation is shown). However, the pager page is empty. What also happens is that the toolbars disappear. I attach two screenshots to illustrate this behavior.

BEFORE ACTIVATION

AND AFTER ...

Note the white and empty pager frame at the bottom!

When starting the notebook with the --debug option, I can also find no obvious problem. The strange thing is that I tried the installation this morning once and it was running. Then I was leaving the slidemode using the shortcut given in the help. Since then it did not work any more. I remove everything related to live_reveal in the .ipython directory and tried to reinstall using the two different methods indicated above.

Any idea how to fix the issue or identify where it is coming from?

I have not tested the extension with 2.4.1 yet... maybe some change is need... there is currently a PR that's seems to make it work #57, but I have to check it yet... I will test this during the weekend and I will let you know...

o.k., great, thanks for the fast reply. With which ipython versions did you work so far

[damianavila]

Please, test master with the first installation option... not master is compatible with 2.4.1 too.
