Hi,

After the recent update, some JuliaBox users have faced issues where 
IJulia/Jupyter notebooks failed to start, or started with one version of 
Julia but not with another.

The most likely cause is an incompatible Julia package and the fix for this 
is to simply update your Julia packages.
- open the JuliaBox console tab
- run "julia -e 'Pkg.update()'"
- if you use multiple Julia versions, you need to do that for all Julia 
versions installed. E.g.: "/opt/julia_0.4.0/bin/julia -e 'Pkg.update()'"

If you do not need your own copy of the packages anymore, you can go back 
to the default set of packages that JuliaBox provides by deleting your 
package folder at /home/juser/.julia.

JuliaBox had somewhat recently 
(https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/julia-box/nTuXIukLvv8) changed the 
way it provided pre-installed packages. It allowed users to install their 
own packages, overriding those that JuliaBox provides. It also allowed 
persistence for custom packages and freed up quite a bit of disk space. 
However as a result, users are now required to update packages installed by 
them once in a while. Note that this applies only to users who install 
packages of their own.

Cheers.
Tanmay.
