Does your 1.7.3 kernel start the right julia binary?
You should have files for your jupyter kernels, perhaps in /home/user/.local/share/jupyter/kernels/.../kernel.json, that tell jupyter how to start the kernel.
My kernel.json file for my julia kernel contains
{
"display_name": "Julia 1.7.2",
"argv": [
"/home/johan/Julia/julia-1.7.2/bin/julia",
"-i",
"--color=yes",
"/home/johan/.julia/packages/IJulia/AQu2H/src/kernel.jl",
"{connection_file}"
],
"language": "julia",
"env": {
"JULIA_NUM_THREADS": "8"
},
"interrupt_mode": "signal"
}
which refers to a julia-executable /home/johan/Julia/julia-1.7.2/bin/julia.
If your kernel.json for the kernel that is named 1.7.3 refers to the correct binary file, then I do now know what might be the reason for your problem.
