How can I resolve this Anaconda launch problem?

When I launch anaconda in Ubuntu using 'anaconda-navigator' the screen has a glitchy window:

Anaconda launches after about 5 min. I have tried reinstalling multiple times but the problem persists. The glitchy window remains overtop other application windows as well.

Solution 1:

Experience has shown this to be an issue with the SSL Verification feature of the application. There are a few things you can do here:

0. Ensure Anaconda is closed
1. Open Terminal (if it's not already open)
2. Check the settings:

   conda config --show
   

3. Disable the SSL Verification:

   conda config --set ssl_verify false
   

4. Launch Anaconda ... and let it take its time
5. Go to "Preferences" and ensure "Enable SSL Verification" is disabled
6. Press "Apply"

This should result in a much faster loading Anaconda installation. The glitchy window will probably still exist, but will disappear after a split second.
