I have downloaded Julia run everything and it works ok except for one thing. Tthe Plots, which I can download and can run the command using Plots. But when I run a plot(x,y) command afterwards it just runs forever and some point of time it may crush and the same exact thing has happened for Pluto, Jupiter, the client and Atom. In the client there is an error report which I do not understand. Any ideas?

Does this also happen for other backends, e.g. try

```julia
julia> x = 0:0.1:10;

julia> y = x.^2;

julia> using Plots; plotly()

julia> plot(x,y)

```

I wouldn’t be surprised if GR got problems with your username
