Create an alias that redirects messages to /dev/null Edit /etc/aliases and add following entry devnull: /dev/null 3. Create a virtual email id Edit /etc/postfix/virtual and add following entry no-reply@domain.com devnull 4. refresh postfix alias and postfix cache Execute following commands.

jupyter notebook execution error: "http://localhost:8889/tree?token=xxx" doesn’t understand the “open location” message

The error indicates that when the command automatically tried to launch a browser, it couldn't find the default browser in jupyter configuration file. The easy fix is to specify the browser. Here are the steps to do so; 1.   Open ~/.jupyter/jupyter_notebook_config.py in an editor.       If the file does not exist then you can create a default config file by typing the following command;       jupyter notebook --generate-config 2. Search for a word "browser" to locate a following line.     #c.NotebookApp.browser = ''     By default it is commented. You can uncomment it and use one of the following values depending on your browser preference.     # set default browser to chrome     c.NotebookApp.browser = 'chrome'     ...
