Pixi global environment can't open its own internal kernel.

[pgarcia2000]

When installing spyder 6.1.1 through pixi global. Kernel errors out at start.

Console Error.txt
FileNotFoundError: No manifest file for your pixi environment was found!

Python interpreter is set to Internal (same used by spyder).

Steps to reproduce.

1. Install pixi (tested on windows)
2. In terminal write:
3. pixi global install spyder=6.1 (it also errors out with spyder-kernels installed in that environment)
4. start spyder -> Spyder should start and try to start the kernel, erroring out there.

When selecting an interpreter manually. The %USER%/.pixi/envs/spyder/python.exe errors out with the same error.
If we select a different interpreter. E.x %USER%/ExampleProject/.pixi/envs/default/python.exe with spyder-kernels installed works perfectly. As expected, it loads the packages found in that project manifest file.

As far as I know, the internal interpreter of a globally installed spyder should work and open a kernel.

Hey @pgarcia2000, thanks for reporting. I think I know what's the error and it should be an easy fix.

It seems that Pixi global envs have a different directory structure than regular ones, and we didn't account for that. But a new release of Spyder-kernels should solve that.

I'll take care of it in a few days.
