once the Jupyter container was up and running I confirmed that python was working by compiling and running the python version using mono. without issue. Once I got into a notebook, this is where the problems began. I am able to narrow it down to a single line "from QuantConnect import *" One you pass that line it will crash the python kernel every single time. the output from the notebooks are as followed :
The kernel for BasicQuantBookTemplate.ipynb appears to have died. It will restart automatically.the output from the logs are as followed:

I Have double checked and all the version numbers are correct for mono and python and so on. this is as far as you can get in the notebook before it crashes, the last line is what causes the kernel to die. I have again confirmed mono is 5.12

In anticipation of someone coming up with a better answer, first you might want to try importing only the modules you need rather than the full QuantConnect reference? It may or may not be crashing because you're trying to import too much. That's at least what I would try first.

thanks for the tip. I confirmed with many variations that anything related to the module "QuantConnect" will crash the kernel. even something as basic as "from QuantConnect.Data.Market import TradeBar"
