"Press Enter to start a new session. - Julia has exited." error

I’m a new user, trying to set up Julia/Juno under Ubuntu 18.04 derivative.

Julia runs fine when started in a terminal, by when I start up atom, I just get
"Press Enter to start a new session.

Julia has exited".

I’ve seen some other threads about this, but they don’t seem to help/apply to me (e.g. no powershell option in the julia package settings).

ctrl-shift-I gives this error message:

Could not connect to Julia.

thanks for any help or directions.!

The current version of Atom is 1.41.0, so you’re pretty outdated. Maybe upgrading to the current version will help?
