vscode-jupyter: installed python kernel is not seen/recognized by jupyter extension

Applies To

• Notebooks (.ipynb files)
• Interactive Window and/or Cell Scripts (.py files with #%% markers)

What happened?

jupyter-python notebook is not recognized by the ‘kernel picker’ tool (Notebook: Select notebook kernel), even when the exact path to the kernel.json is provided (created by jupyter installation ipykernel). Julia kernel is working fine. Python packages “python-***” (for example - python-ipykernel, which is v. 6.29.3-1) are managed using system package manager (OS Linux Manjaro). Jupyterlab started in a web-browser finds and operates with all installed kernels (julia, python, …)
