Thanks, Volker. I just installed the VB image on my linux laptop and I can access the jupyter notebook through my local firefox on http://localhost:8000. So it seems to be a windows issue that Thomas can't. Do you have an idea what dodgy windows programs could be the reason? Antivirus? If you know of any way how to get around this, it would be great. Thanks! The problem with File -> Close and Halt is that this option is not available e.g. after downloading a jupyter file, as there is only the download window left, without any menu commands. How would I have to edit .xinitrc to get a full browser? We already removed the --kiosk option but it didn't make a difference.
