hallo!! Ze Wang, I have the same problem, do you install matlab after libstdc++6?

as suggested by hilla gerstman and works for me:
in terminal launching the matlab, enter the line: matlab -nosoftwareopengl
(another page: How do I select hardware OpenGL rendering for MATLAB on Linux - Stack Overflow)

This can happen if your displayon linux is not set correctly. to set this
$ export DISPLAY=:0.0
and then run matlab

Is this an error or a warning message? In the latter case you can set the software OpenGL renderer manually to avoid the message during the automatic choice.
The reason for the warning is, that Matlab does not recognize the hardware OpenGL driver. Search in the docs for explanations:
docsearch opengl

I have similiar issue with matlab 2016b in ubuntu 16.04.3. When i call matlab, it shows the above message in the terminal and i get a splash screen. Nothing happens after that. It stays that way and i get nothing else. No gui or anything.

%code
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gcc-4.9
sudo apt-get upgrade libstdc++6
This will resolved the issue

AGRIM comments to @Sagar Shriram Salwe
downloads and unpacks useless things, takes forever, and isn't helpful at the end

AGRIM:
As described by @Leonardo Santos in https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/337113-error-matlab-is-selecting-software-opengl-rendering#answer_402524 for at least some distributions and releases, there is a conflict with libstdc++.so.6 . The steps described by @Sagar Shriram Salwe would have the effect of replacing libstdc++.so.6 . That would be useful in at least some distributions and releases.
I do not have any information about whether all of the steps suggested by Sagar are required to solve the problem.

I got the same issues with Ubuntu 16.04+R2017a and R2017b. Matlab didn't show up. But strange enough, matlab can start in VNC though I still got the same message "MATLAB is selecting SOFTWARE OPENGL rendering". Can anybody solve this problem?

In my case, this bug comes after install the matlab-support (apt-get install matlab-support) to have the matlab icon on the main menu. Apparently, the problem came up from the librarires name changes from the matlab-support. My prompted error, by the way:
MATLAB is selecting SOFTWARE OPENGL rendering.
/usr/local/MATLAB/R2018a/bin/glnxa64/MATLAB: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6:
version 'GLIBCXX_3.4.22' not found (required by /usr/local/MATLAB/R2018a/bin/glnxa64/libCppMicroServices.so.3.1.1)
Following the instructions from this bug report, I navigate to the directory where my matlab is installed, and get into
cd sys/os/glnxa64
In this folder, the libstdc++.so.6 was renamed to libstdc++.so.6.bak
I guess this was done by the matlab-support. The libstdc++.so.6.bak had a symbolic link to the version of this library in the same folder, libstdc++.so.6.0.22, though. Then, instead of rename libstdc++.so.6 library to libstdc++.so.6.old as said on the aforementioned bug report, I created a symbolic link of libstdc++.so.6 to my libstdc++.so.6.0.22. Simply:
sudo ln -s libstdc++.so.6.0.22 libstdc++.so.6
Finally, the matlab started as before matlab-support. Remember to change the last command to the specific version of libstdc++.so under your sys/os/glnxa64 matlab installation folder.

Bump, same problem here, and similar to this issue, except that still unresolved : https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/150877-why-is-matlab-r2014a-hanging-on-the-splash-screen-on-linux

I was having this issue on my laptop with a legacy nvidia GPU (Quadro FX 880M) and Ubuntu 16.04, and I was able to resolve it by getting nvidia's most current drivers with:
sudo apt-get install nvidia-current
After a system reboot, the issue was resolved. I am a linux novice, so I cannot speak to the universality of this fix. I read this article to learn about updating graphics drivers.
UPDATE: With the above process I managed to install the wrong driver the first time (from nvidia-304 when I needed 340), but things seem to be working now with the correct legacy drivers. Clearly this fix is only for nvidia cards, as Arturo mentions below.

$ sudo apt-get install nvidia-current
is only useful if you are using an NVIDIA graphics card for graphics output, but I am using my integrated motherboard for that so that is not a solution for me.

The DISPLAY environment is probably not set. Check if "echo $DISPLAY" returns something. If that is empty, set it with "export DISPLAY=:0".

In my case, it was a permission error.
Did you try "xhost +" or any other similar commands?
私の場合はアクセス許可の問題でした.
xhost +等は試されていますか？

Hi,
I am running Matlab 2020b on Xubuntu 20.04 LTS with NVidia GTX1080TI.
I solved the problem by updating the graphics card driver.

I`m receiving the same ERROR:

MATLAB is selecting SOFTWARE OPENGL rendering.
Does anyone know how to solve it?

I´m trying to run Matlab in a Arch Linux based distro, Manjaro KDE, kernel 5.10.26-1, with a GeForce GTX 1070 GPU.

Hello, everyone. I too seems to get an error similar to what is being discuss.
Here's the error I got:
MATLAB is selecting SOFTWARE OPENGL rendering.

I am wondering what's problem and how to fix it. Anyone with a solution should please share. Thank you.
