After upgrading ubuntu 14.10 to 15.04 I am no longer able to open Matlab 2013a

I can't open Matlab 2013a after I upgrade Ubuntu 14.10 to 15.04. I have also tried to open from the location folder, and when I try to open it from the console using $

$ cd /usr/local/MATLAB/R2013a/bin/
$ ./matlab

I get the following message.

Solution 1:

I was having the same problem, I guess from the error messages that it was due to the the old libc libraries used by Matlab.

I installed the packages matlab-support and matlab-support-dev and things started to work.

One more thing: Chose to rename the old GCC libraries form MATLAB and use the new ones from Ubuntu when asked!!!

Solution 2:

According to the following line from your message, you have the jayatana package installed:

Picked up JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS: -javaagent:/usr/share/java/jayatanaag.jar

This package is responsible for application menu support for Java swing applications, and seems to be the cause for the segfault. Removing it worked for me:

sudo apt-get remove jayatana

Don't forget to restart your session afterwards as the package installs the JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS environment variable. Or try it from a terminal window:

JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS= /path/to/your/matlab
