Adding to the above answers  you can also use   which python   Type this in a cell and this will show the path of the environment  I m not sure of the reason  but in my installation  there is no segregation of environments in the notebook  but on activating the environment and launching jupyter notebook  the path used is the python installed in the environment

Because none of the answers above worked for me  I write here the solution that finally solved my problem on Ubuntu  My problem was  I did the following steps      Activate my environment  conda activate MyEnv  Start jupyter notebook jupyter notebook   Although MyEnv was active in the terminal and had an asterix when writing conda env list  but jupyter notebook was started with the base environment  Installing nb conda and ipykernel didn t solve the problem for me either  Additionally  the conda tab wasn t appearing in jupyter notebook and also clicking on the kernels or going to the menu Kernel- gt Change Kernel didn t show the kernel MyEnv  Solution was  install the jupyter environment kernel in MyEnv environment   pip install environment kernels   After that when starting jupyter notebook  it is started with the right environment  You can also switch between environments without stopping the kernel  by going to the menu Kernel- gt Change Kernel and selecting the desired kernel
