After sometime away from my PC. Today I installed some updates on Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS, did a reboot, and now Juno shows me a message:

> Intel MKL FATAL ERROR: Cannot load libmkl\_intel\_thread.so.

I’m using Julia build with MKL, so I though that just adding the path to the missing library would fix the problem. I put the following line on `.profile` file:

> export LD\_PRELOAD=“$LD\_PRELOAD:/opt/intel/compilers\_and\_libraries\_2018.3.222/linux/mkl/lib/intel64\_lin/libmkl\_intel\_thread.so”

and then, on terminal  
`source .profile`

I can use Julia via terminal without problems, but Juno still have the issue with MKL.  
Does anybody has the same experience ?

Did you try starting Atom from a terminal as well?

I forgot about this possibility 😁, and indeed it works.
