Hello,
i’m trying to run PLOTLY in offline mode on a disconnected computer (real offline !)
this simple code WORKS well when i run it IN CONSOLE mode (not via notebook):
> import plotly#.plotly as py
> import plotly.graph\_objs as go
>
> trace = {‘x’:[1,2],‘y’:[1,2]}
> data = [trace]
> fig = go.Figure(data = data, layout = {})
>
> plotly.offline.plot(fig)
but fail to run in jupyter notebook producing blank plots (i see the space for the graph is used but no plots in it)
i did the required adjustments needed for notebook:
> import plotly#.plotly as py
> import plotly.graph\_objs as go
> plotly.offline.init\_notebook\_mode(connected=True)
>
> trace = {‘x’:[1,2],‘y’:[1,2]}
> data = [trace]
> fig = go.Figure(data = data, layout = {})
>
> plotly.offline.iplot(fig)
i think it because its really offline mode, when i connect the cable of the internet back its working , when disconnecting its not working, like its depend on something online and i need it to work on a standalone computer
thanks for anyhelp !

I had a similar problem which I posted [here](https://community.plotly.com/t/no-output-from-plotly-offline-iplot/8086) and [on StackOverflow](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/48560138/plotly-offline-iplot-gives-a-large-blank-field-as-its-output-why?).
What’s more, I actually got an answer which solved the problem for me over there - apparently plots not appearing can be a result of a too low data rate limit. Try changing the setting c.NotebookApp.iopub\_data\_rate\_limit to a higher value in your jupyter notebook settings file, and see if that helps.

I first started seeing this issue running a notebook from within jupyter **lab**. When I ran it from the notebook app, this suggestion worked. Any way to get to work within jupyter **lab**?

Hi @mszczepaniak,
To display plots using `iplot` in JupyterLab, you’ll need to install the `@jupyterlab/plotly-extension` JupyterLab extension. See [https://github.com/plotly/plotly.py#jupyterlab-support-python-35](https://github.com/plotly/plotly.py#jupyterlab-support-python-35) for full installation instructions.
Hope that helps,
-Jon

Thanks Jon. That did help. I was initially having trouble installing the extension, but eventually got it installed. After successfully installing the extension, it started working as expected.
