Error displayed when starting MATLAB on Linux systems using NVIDIA OR AMD graphics hardware

Question

5 个投票

Hey,

I'm using Dell precision 7510 with preinstalled Ubuntu 14.04(I have the driver the NVIDIA). I just downloaded the MATLAB 2017a and I run into the following error. I just searched and found it's not just me who have the same problem. I wonder if this problem is fixable? To put it in another way, could I use all the features provided by MATALB with this error?

Thank you in advance, attached is the error infor

This low-level graphics error is an NVIDIA driver issue. If possible, downgrade to a previous NVIDIA driver, such as the one that was on the system before the update.

1. Start MATLAB with 'nodesktop' AND the 'opengl' info command, and then open the desktop. This gets the right library load order for everything to work. Try to start MATLAB with the following command (in the Windows Command Prompt) :

>>matlab -nodesktop -r "opengl info, desktop"

This command starts MATLAB with "nodesktop" and the "opengl info" command, and then opens the desktop. The downside is you cannot start MATLAB in the background, or suspend (Ctrl-Z) and push it to the background (bg).

This might have to be used in conjunction with the "libstdc++.so.6" library being incompatible which can be resolved using the workaround in the following bug report :

https://www.mathworks.com/support/bugreports/1297894

2. Downgrade from NVIDIA driver version 367.57 to version 340.98, a stable previous release:

http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/107868/en-us

3. Keep an eye out for new NVIDIA drivers on the NVIDIA website:

http://www.nvidia.com/Download/Find.aspx?lang=en-us

4. If it is not possible or preferable to change your graphics driver, use MATLAB with Software OpenGL. Open MATLAB from the Linux Terminal with the following command:

$ matlab -softwareopengl

You can set your preferences so that MATLAB always starts with Software OpenGL by executing the following in the MATLAB Command Window:

>> opengl('save','software')

You can always revert to your default graphics renderer with the following:

>> opengl('save','none')

Please refer to the following possible workarounds if the above does not resolve the issue:

1) Hardware OpenGL Renderer Workaround:

- Create a file named 'java.opts' in the directory where MATLAB is executed with the following line added and start MATLAB:

-Djogl.disable.openglarbcontext=1

Please refer to the following documentation page for additional details about creating a 'java.opts' file:

https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/matlab_env/java-opts-file.html

2) Painters Renderer Workaround:

- Start MATLAB with the '-noopengl' startup option. This can be done by running the following command on the terminal:

matlab -noopengl

The "matlab -softwareopengl" command works very well. I had this problem but with this command no more problem. Thanks

Domantas Laurinavicius 2024-12-30

The java.opts option worked for Fedora 41 on intel, thanks so much!

Hi,

I am on Ubuntu 20.04 beta and running the nvidia on-demand prime profile, and get the same error. I can solve this (see the Archwiki) by starting matlab from terminal:

export MESA_LOADER_DRIVER_OVERRIDE=i965; matlab

Or (additionaly) you can change the EXEC in /usr/share/applications/matlab.desktop to:

Exec=env MESA_LOADER_DRIVER_OVERRIDE=i965 matlab -desktop

First line worked for me thanks a lot! (Ubuntu 20.04, Matlab 2022b, Intel Core i7, Nvidia 2060, Monster Notebook)

Oben 2022-11-24

I was not able to visualize data on scope tool because of this error. I copied "export MESA_LOADER_DRIVER_OVERRIDE=i965" into "/ect/environment" directory. I don't have to call it everytime now. Thank you so much Willi Mutschler and Felix Sch

My system: Ubuntu 20, Matlab 2022b, Intel Core 7, Nvidia 1050, Monster Notebook

I also ran into this issue on my Dell XPS 13 9360 which neither has a NVIDIA or AMD card, but an on-board intel graphics card.

I filed a bug report with MATHWORKS and they proposed two solutions:

Create a file with the name 'java.opts' in the directory where MATLAB is executed (for me this is in '/usr/local/MATLAB/R2020a/bin/glnxa64') with the following line: -Djogl.disable.openglarbcontext=1
If this does not work, then the above solution using export MESA_LOADER_DRIVER_OVERRIDE=i965 is working.

For me both solve my issue.

Option 1 worked for me on Ubuntu 22.04 and Matlab R2022a. Thanks.

Thanks a lot for this! Option 1 worked for me with Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS and Matlab R2023b.

The problem is caused by changes in NVIDIA drivers 361.xx and newer and MATLAB reliance on driver behavior outside standard Linux OpenGL ABI (thus it's mainly MathWorks problem). These changes are described here . I could solve the problem by replacing the libGL.so.1.0.0 driver library from the official NVIDIA binary driver installer. First check the version of the driver used in the system, e.g. using nvidia-smi utility. Download the driver https://www.geforce.com/drivers. Then unpack the downloaded driver installer using the --extract-only installer command line switch. Finally replace the installed libGL.so.1.0.0 library file with the libGL.so.$VERSION file from the unpacked installer (the file must be renamed to libGL.so.1.0.0).

I already lost hope that the MathWorks will fix anytime soon this two years old bug.

For AMD GPUs on Ubuntu:

If you're using an AMD graphics card on Ubuntu (or perhaps some other flavor of Linux) and you are having this issue, or if you notice that MATLAB automatically switches to a software implementation of OpenGL, you most likely need to install the amdgpu-pro package, which includes all of the open-sourced drivers, plus a few of the proprietary drivers, mainly Vulkan. The Ubuntu software repositories only maintain a stable release of the amdgpu package, which appears to not provide enough to support MATLAB. I reccomend installing amdgpu-pro. AMD GPUs and drivers are very reliable in Ubuntu OS (much more so than NVIDIA). It's totally safe to install and I've never had any issues.

Set your OpenGL preference to 'none' in MATLAB so that it's automatically determined at the start of each session:

opengl('save', 'none')

Then close MATLAB. Now, go and find the latest AMD drivers for your GPU and OS here and download the tarball. Carefully follow the instructions they provide you to unpack and install the drivers (but don't take too literally their recommendation to use amdgpu-pro with their Pro series GPUs, it works for their consumer products as well, e.g., I have a Radeon RX 5700 XT). I recommend just going with the heaviest pro install option that includes the OpenCL components, i.e., run the installer by the following command:

./amdgpu-pro-install -y --opencl=rocr,legacy

Finally, reboot your system and open MATLAB. The output from the rendererinfo(gca) command should indicate that the renderer is using a hardware-accelerated version of OpenGL.

P.S., I realize my answer isn't 100% focused on the original question (since @Yalun Wen's problem was with an NVIDIA GPU), but I ended up here through the same error key "Could not initialize shared resources for X11GraphicsDevice" and I noticed a few others mentioning AMD/ATI on this thread so I figured I'd drop my solution. None of the solutions posted here worked for me. I simply needed the additional driver components provided by the pro package.

I'm currently running Ubuntu 22.04 with Nvidia drivers and the "on-demand" prime profile. In this case, if matlab is run with

matlab -desktop

it defaults to software OpenGL. By forcing it to use hardware acceleration with

matlab -nosoftwareopengl -desktop

the error in question appears.

You can force it to launch using the dedicated GPU by running on the terminal:

switcherooctl launch matlab -nosoftwareopengl -desktop

The "switcherooctl launch" part is equivalent to selecting the option "Launch with dedidated graphics card" on the gnome desktop. More info here.
