Cannot start Julia

General Usage
,
1

When I try to start Julia I get the message:

Juliaup configuration is locked by another process, waiting for it to unlock.

and than it hangs, nothing else happens.

In the past I also saw this message, but it disappeared usually after less than a second. Now hangs at this state for a long time (> 20s).

What could be the reason?
How to fix?

This happens with and without the usage of VSCode on Ubuntu 24.04 and Julia 0.10.5.

My internet works fine otherwise.

Problem disappeared. juliaup update works, and the hanging also disappeared.

But there seams to be a bug in juliaup that it hangs when some server is not available.
