Problem with running on Jupyter notebook on remote server

Hi,

I am having trouble getting mayavi to run on a jupyter notebook from a remote server. I am using VSCode editor to directly access the jupyter notebook from the server.

Initially I had problem when running the mlab.figure() command i.e. the cell in the notebook just keeps rotating indefinitely and never finishes.

I have tried installations as you have mentioned on your instructions page [here](https://github.com/enthought/mayavi) and [here](https://github.com/enthought/mayavi/blob/master/examples/mayavi/mayavi_jupyter.ipynb). But I just cant seem to get it work !!! My eventual goal is to visualize the kitti point-cloud dataset.

The only difference in my case is that I am on Ubuntu 18.04 as opposed to 16.04 for which the instructions were written.

Any help you can provide is gladly appreciated. Thank you.
