MATLAB desktop error on Linux

Question

1 个投票

Hi all,

When opening MATLAB on my laptop running Linux, it displays an error dialog saying desktop error, and all text isnt rendered, then it segfaults. This happens with R2021a and R2021b. I didnt test any other versions. I used Matlab on Linux without issues a lot, but these new installs dont work. Reinstalling doesnt fix the issue. The crash report is JAVA screaming at me that something isnt right. How do I fix it?

OS: Linux x86_64 Arch Linux (BTW)

EDIT1: As expected, running matlab -nojvm works as intended.

Crash report:
