Cannot open Add-On window on Linux
显示 更早的评论
Hello everybody,
I encounter a strange problem on my Arch Linux (4.8.4-1-ARCH) with MATLAB 9.1.0.441655 (R2016b). If I try to open the Add-On explorer, I get the following error:

After a while, I tried to install the Hardware Package for USB webcams, I got a similar error popup:

Are there well-known problems with popups on Linux? "version -java" gives me the following output:
Java 1.7.0_60-b19 with Oracle Corporation Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM mixed mode
Thanks for your help!!

What happens if you execute the following commands at the MATLAB command prompt:
>> cd(matlabroot)
>> cd bin/glnxa64
>> !./MATLABWindow -url=http://mathworks.com --disable-gpu

Hey thanks, that gave the error
>> !./MATLABWindow -url=http://mathworks.com --disable-gpu
./MATLABWindow: error while loading shared libraries: libselinux.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
After installing the libselinux package Add-On Explorer works!

Another library that needs to be present is libXss.so.1, which is installed by the libXScrnSaver package on RHEL 8.

Heh. If ever you manage to get it to work, chances are that you won't be able to type anything or use the menus without endless frustration. Fair warning.

Hey, I'm using Arch Linux too. It seems that it might be related to some libs. Arch Linux tends to use the latest libs, while MATLAB tends to use the old ones. It's not easy to deal with such [things]. I'm going to install Debian 9 on my server. And if needed, one could just download those add-ons, extract, and copy .m file to somewhere MATLAB could find them, assuming the add-on is just some .m files and .mat file, which is independent with platform.

Please try to run the following in the MATLAB Command Window:
>> opengl software
And then try opening the Add on explorer again. It worked for me.
If that works, you can save the preference so that MATLAB always opens with Software OpenGL by running:
>> opengl('save','software')

this does not work in Ubunu 21.10, returning:
"Switching to software OpenGL rendering at runtime
on unix is not supported."
