# How to fix notebook's "kernel issues" on DICE
Some of the people in mlpractical have been affected by a recent update to the numpy and numercial
library pushed to DICE last week. The symptom was restarting notebook kernel when someone
tried to run the exercise involving numpy usage.
library pushed to DICE last week. It concerns you when you get the message about the kernel was restarted when running code involving numpy usage.
The reason of this most likely affected people who either 1) ended up with
default atlas libraries (which has been updated in the meantime) or 2) re-compiled
numpy with new DICE OpenBLAS already available, but LD_LIBRARY_PATH pointed to the
version compiled last time - which could introduce some unexepcted behaviours.
In case you experience those issues you either 1) ended up with
default atlas libraries (which have been updated in the meantime) or 2) re-compiled
numpy with the new DICE OpenBLAS already available, but LD_LIBRARY_PATH you set last week put
priority to load OpenBLAS libraries compiled last time - which could introduce some unexepcted behaviour at runtime.
## Fix
## The Fix
Follow the below setps **before** you activate the old virtual environment. The fix
basically involves rebuilding the virtual environments. But the whole process is now
much simpler (due to the fact OpenBLAS is now a deafult numerical library on DICE).
