Solved. Jupyter notebook doesnt run as root by design i think because if it did execute and deploy a web browser as root then malicious shell activity could possibly be run. The fix was to run notebook from the terminal instead of through the anaconda navigator ide as such "jupyter notebook --allow-root". Just thought it may help someone else facing this problem.
