Issues running MOFA2 with Basilisk on Ubuntu <=18 #114

This is more like a PSA than a bug.

I've been using MOFA2 on a couple of Ubuntu machines. One of them is Ubuntu 20, the other was Ubuntu 18.

Other than the Ubuntu version, their setup was identical:

Running MOFA (with basilisk) on the Ubuntu 18 machine would result in an object has no attribute run.entry_point error. In contrast, the Ubuntu 20 machine ran MOFA without any problems.

Furthermore: I upgraded the Ubuntu 18 machine to Ubuntu 20 and the error disappeared!

I was surprised to see Basilisk/MOFA2 interact with the OS version in this way. This may be a Basilisk issue, rather than a MOFA2 issue. In any case, I didn't see this issue mentioned anywhere online, so I thought I would post something here.
