I’ve installed livebook by livebook_websetup.exe, but I can’t connect to Elixir runtime in livebook with Elixir Standalone on my Windows laptop.

once I click evaluate or Connect button, it shows:

Failed to connect runtime - Elixir terminated unexpectedly, please check the terminal for errors.

I don’t know what to do, I started it by clicking desktop ico…
Anyone can help? Any operations I should try or some settings I should check?

Well, the solution is change my Livebook installation path, because the old path has space :sweat_smile:

Hey,
I am having the same issue. How do you change the path? Does it involve deleting the local repo and re-cloning?

Can you please open up an issue?

I fixed it by uninstalling and reinstalling again.

I get the same error.
Every time I try to evaluate a cell.
Where can I tail the logs? I couldn´t find anything related in /var/logs
I have reinstalled Livebook, but that made no difference.

I’m using LiveBook 0.11.14 on an Apple M2 Pro running on MacOS 13.0

Cheers,
Martin

For Windows users seeing this error, try re-installing as Administrator. Doing a regular install appears to work, but (for me at least) resulted in the termination error whenever I tried to connect to a notebook.

I had the same issue after installing Livebook on Windows as a user with no admin rights. I fixed it by editing the file %LOCALAPPDATA%\rel\releases\{livebook-version}\env.bat as follows:

- if not defined RELEASE_DISTRIBUTION set RELEASE_DISTRIBUTION=sname
+ if not defined RELEASE_DISTRIBUTION set RELEASE_DISTRIBUTION=name

- if not defined RELEASE_NODE set RELEASE_NODE=livebook-app-!TIMESTAMP:~8,6!-!RANDOM!
+ if not defined RELEASE_NODE set RELEASE_NODE=livebook-app-!TIMESTAMP:~8,6!-!RANDOM!@127.0.0.1

Hope that helps :slight_smile:
