Good morning,

Thank you so much for contacting us, please try to change your Gnome session to Xorg and see if the problem persist.

Thank you.

I am facing the same problem. Please guide thoroughly, in a step by step manner. (may be you already have but I am simply a beginner) If in our official community we are not strong then we are in for big trouble.

Hi Everybody,

I hava same problem.

I installed Anaconda on Windows 10, successfully. When I start Anaconda Navigator in the Loading environment phase, it gets stuck and will not go any further.
I checked the forums and found that Anaconda cannot deal with machines where the user name contains national characters. My machine is just like that.
I have no desire to reinstall the whole Windows, but I would really like to use Anaconda. What is the solution?
Thank you very much.

I was facing the same issue while running Anaconda on my Ubuntu system. After spending some time on the internet, I found out that the solution was lying in the version of pyqt5 being used.
I re-installed a slightly downgraded version of pyqt5 using pip:

pip install pyqt5==5.14.2

and also the pyqtwebengine using pip:

pip install pyqtwebengine==5.14.

Now, it is working fine. I don’t know the exact reason why I need to downgrade the pyqt5 in order to make it work though.

I tried the above steps and it worked for me too.
