title: iPython notebook can't connect to kernel on google-compute-engine
body: <p>I've been trying to get ipython/jupyter notebook running as a notebook server on Google Compute Engine (Ubuntu 14.04 VM), but can't connect to the Python kernel.</p>
  
  <p>I started with the latest Anaconda distribution. I can connect to the notebook server from my local machine via the web, browse the directory tree of the VM, and create  new notebook, but never connects to the kernel (orange message in the upper right of Jupyter).  The notebook port (8888) is open in the firewall settings.  iPython notebook returns the following:</p>

  <p>If anyone has run into this before and can offer some things to check, I'd appreciate it. Googling around hasn't helped and I'd really like to get this working on the cloud.  Thanks!</p>
