Zeppelin unable to start IPython kernel

For quite some time I've been facing an issue with Zeppelin which seem to be unable to launch IPython. I followed this guide and this one. Pyspark interpreter is correctly set with the right python path and IPython activated by default. However, when I try to run any of the examples in the guides such as:

%ipyspark
import pandas as pd
df = pd.DataFrame({'name':['a','b','c'], 'count':[12,24,18]})
z.show(df)

I get the following error from the logs which doesn't tell much:

I'm using HDP3.0.1 which comes with Zeppelin 0.8.0. All the nodes have python 3.7.1 installed with the latest version of jupyter and grpcio. From Zeppelin notebook I checked ipython and python version:

%pyspark
import sys
import IPython
print(IPython.__version__)
print(sys.version)

7.2.0

3.7.1 (default, Nov 29 2018, 17:37:37)

I can start IPython from any node without a problem and Zeppelin can correctly get IPython's version. I tried to find if there are other logs than Zeppelin reporting the error but couldn't find anything.

Any idea of what could be preventing the launch of IPython kernel from Zeppelin?

Any idea on this particular issue? A jupyter server is now running smoothly on this cluster but Zeppelin still refuses to cooperate.
