I have downloaded and installed the Anaconda distribution for Ubuntu (18.04) from [https://www.anaconda.com/distribution/#download-section] conform instructions some weeks ago. Everything worked fine.

Today I updated the packages in the Gnome terminal with:

source activate base
conda update --all --yes
conda deactivate
exit

Before I did this update, my terminal started with:

rene@mylaptop:~$

After the update a terminal session starts as follows (with the Anaconda base environment activated):

(base) rene@mylaptop:~$

How can I prevent this from happening / revert to the previous terminal settings? Any suggestions?

conda config --set auto_activate_base false

This comes from a similar issue over here.

Type 

deactivate

into your console to disable virtualenvs. And double check that your .bashrc doesn't source any virtualenv that you have created.

Edit: Conda requires you to use

source deactivate

  • Thnx. I know that I can use `source deactivate` or `conda deactivate` to quit the (active) virtual environment. In .bashrc I don't see anything related to sourcing virtual environments but when I start a new terminal session, it keeps starting with the Anaconda base environment activated.. – Rene Feb 20 '19 at 16:00
