Handling tensorboard error

[Neris Özen]

Hello, 

I am trying to user tensorboard to visualize my model logs trained and saved by Python. Once I run "%tensorboard --logdir logs_1602_epoch2_batch8_for_tens1" on Jupyter notebook, I get the error:

"

If this call came from a _pb2.py file, your generated code is out of date and must be regenerated with protoc >= 3.19.0. If you cannot immediately regenerate your protos, some other possible workarounds are: 1. Downgrade the protobuf package to 3.20.x or lower. 2. Set PROTOCOL_BUFFERS_PYTHON_IMPLEMENTATION=python (but this will use pure-Python parsing and will be much slower).

I had installed tensorboard with command "pip install tensorboard". Its version is 2.12.0. 

I already downgraded protobuf to 3.20.1 and set the aforementioned environment variable to python. But the error persists. I would appreciate any help or suggestion. 

Thanks,
