Environment settings for Jupyter

Environment settings for Jupyter are not read from .bashrc. You have to specify them in a .py file at ~/.ipython/profile_default/startup/

For example:

echo -e "import os\n\nos.environ[\"SOME_URL\"] = \"http://mlflow.company.tld:5000\"" > ~/.ipython/profile_default/startup/set_env.py

Clean the Trash

When you use the “File Browser” of Jupyter Lab to delete files they are not deleted but moved to ~/.local/share/Trash. Clean that folder to delete them.
