Unable to start kernel

Hi I’m Cathy, I’m trying to run a Flask + JupyterLab project (with Whisper, Gemini API, etc.) on a RunPod GPU pod. I set up a virtual environment and installed all my dependencies, but I keep running into issues: Jupyter kernels don’t use my venv by default, and when I try to switch, I get port conflicts or 502 errors. Sometimes, even after installing packages like Flask or Whisper, my notebook still says “ModuleNotFoundError.” The RunPod dashboard often shows “Not Ready” for JupyterLab and my HTTP service, even when I think they’re running. I’ve tried restarting, killing processes, and re-installing everything, but I’m still stuck.
