Using Julia 1.11.1 and just loaded, built, and created a kernel with: `installkernel("Julia (24 threads)", "--depwarn=no",env=Dict("JULIA_NUM_THREADS"=>"24"))`

Haven’t had this issue before but when entering: `] activate .`

into a jupyter lab notebook cell I get an error:

```julia
MethodError: no method matching do_cmd(::IJulia.MiniREPL, ::String; do_rethrow::Bool)
The function `do_cmd` exists, but no method is defined for this combination of argument types.

Closest candidates are:
  do_cmd(::Pkg.REPLMode.Command, ::Any) got unsupported keyword argument "do_rethrow"
   @ Pkg ~/.julia/juliaup/julia-1.11.1+0.x64.linux.gnu/share/julia/stdlib/v1.11/Pkg/src/REPLMode/REPLMode.jl:398

Stacktrace:
 [1] top-level scope
   @ In[2]:1

```

Correct:

Should be fixed in IJulia 1.26 (just released),
