Vscode-jupyter: Can't change remote jupyter notebook kernel

Created on 20 Dec 2018 · 15Comments · Source: microsoft/vscode-jupyter

Hi,
-pointed here from stackoverflow-
With the new version i am able to connect to a remote jupyter session and that works great, but there does not appear to be a way to change the remote kernel. This feature would be very helpful.
Thanks,
Mike

Is this something similar to what the Hydrogen package provides in Atom?
e.g. after configuring the remote Jupyter Server it gives the following options when selecting the "Connecting to Remote Kernel":

It would be great to have the ability spacify the kernel e.g. in conda environments.

This is problematic--vscode is defaulting to a kernel that isn't even python for me.

Edit: My current workaround is starting the notebook myself with
```bash
jupyter notebook --KernelSpecManager.whitelist="['python3']"
````
causing python3 to be the only option.

With specification of the kernel itself, this might enable interactive support to different languages as well given that there is an available kernel.

If you support this feature, I would give up Atom and use vscode!

Hydrogen also has an option to "remember" multiple jupyter servers the user might want to connect to. The first choice is then "which remote" and then what kernel. Very handy

Bumping for this feature. Having the ability to reconnect to and/or select which remote jupyter server and which kernal to use would be very useful to me and my team.

This would be great to have. BTW is this possible locally?

+1 for this feature Running / connecting to kernels in other languages would be VERY useful!

+1 for this feature! I am loading a custom kernel installed by django-extensions to have the ORM initialized inside of the notebook. This would be grand!

+1 for this feature. I run multiple kernels with different packages installed.

Thanks everyone for adding your interest. However please could you vote on the main comment (👍 ). This way its easier for us to check the reactions (interest) on this issue, else we'd have to scroll down to look for +1 or the like.
