Interactive window is using the wrong env for activation for remote development

[shashankvidiyalaC3]

Environment data

• VS Code version: 1.92.1
• Jupyter Extension version (available under the Extensions sidebar): v2024.8.1
• Python Extension version (available under the Extensions sidebar): v2024.14.1
• OS (Windows | Mac | Linux distro) and version: Local machine mac -osx, remote machine fedora

Expected behaviour

It should use the env for the remote machine to start the interactive windows

Actual behaviour

Interactive window doesn't open at all, and the extension is attempting to use env of my local machine

Steps to reproduce:

1. Use a local osx machine and try to ssh to a remote vscode on linux
2. Try to use interactive window

[amunger]

can you try running Python: Select Interpreter to select the env you want to use first

[shashankvidiyalaC3]

Thanks running Python: Select Interpreter and creating a new venv fixed my issue

[shashankvidiyalaC3]

If activating the interpreter fails can we show some error message to perform this action ?
