Hello,

I am using ubuntu 10.10, 32 bit and sage 4.8.

When I try to start the notebook I get the following error message:

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------
| Sage Version 4.8, Release Date: 2012-01-20                         |

and connect to your machine could access or delete your files.

You can change your password by typing notebook(reset=True).



Enter new password:

Please login to the notebook with the username 'admin' and the above password.
Password changed for user 'admin'.

RuntimeError: no available port.
sage:

Any idea how to fix this? I don't have any firewall running.

Best regards:

As it seems, people tend to have this problem when specifying an interface different from 'lo', because the interface parameter in fact refers to the ip address of an interface, not its symbolic name. In your case I'd guess the 'lo' interface itself didn't exist in the first place.

Try specifying the port with notebook(port=8080). Is another Sage notebook instance running?

I tried to specify the port. Same error message. An other notebook instance is not running.

I bet you actually have a firewall running.

The only alternative is that another program has already bound port 8000, you can chcek with

 netstat  -p -l -n | grep 8000

No other program is using port 8000. Any idea, how to check if a firewall is running?

If you do have a firewall running, it's likely to be ufw (uncomplicated firewall), the default firewall on Ubuntu. However, it shouldn't be enabled by default.

AFAIK, you can manually disable ufw by typing:

sudo ufw disable
