JuypterLab Kernel Restarting in Desktop app but not when running JupyterLab via terminal

[prabirshrestha]

Description

I get the following error when running from jupyterlab-desktop but not when running from the home-brew installation of Jupyter lab when running the server from the terminal.

Reproduce

!pip install --upgrade langchain #--quiet 
!pip install --upgrade sentence_transformers #--quiet 
from langchain.embeddings import HuggingFaceEmbeddings

embeddings = HuggingFaceEmbeddings(model_name='sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2',
                                       model_kwargs={'device': 'cpu'})

Expected behavior

Shouldn't crash.

Context

Jupyter lab desktop with error:

• Operating System and version: Mac Sonoma 14.2.1 (M3 Max with 48Gb Ram)
• JupyterLab-Desktop version: 4.0.11-1
• Installer: arm64 .dmg

Jupyter lab server with no error:

• OS: same as above
• Installed via brew install jupyter and opened in browser via jupyter lab.
• JupyterLab version: Version 4.0.12

Seems like someone else also might have been facing similar issue as mentioned at #504. Is there some way to say have unlimited memory and let the OS handle this?

@prabirshrestha this could be caused by one of the dependency Python packages. the environments you are comparing are not identical.
could you try with the latest version (4.0.12), and by also updating the bundled environment?

I get the same error. I even tried following the uninstall instructions with clean installation as mentioned in https://github.com/jupyterlab/jupyterlab-desktop/blob/master/user-guide.md#uninstalling-jupyterlab-desktop.

Do you see any error messages in the JupyterLab Desktop log when the kernel crashes? On macOS, the logs are in ~/Library/Logs/jupyterlab-desktop.
