Ubuntu Installation :: Installing MATLAB R2008b On U9.10
Apr 21, 2010
I have a Dell Studio 1749 and am having problems installing MATLAB on Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala. After putting in the DVD, I start the installation script:
Code:
/media/cdrom/install_unix.sh
and I get the message:
Code:
An error status was returned by the program 'xsetup', the X Window System version of 'install'. The following messages were written to standard error:
/media/cdrom0/unix/update/install/main.sh: 178: /media/cdrom0/unix/update/bin/glnxa64/xsetup: not found. Attempt to fix the problem and try again. If X is not available or 'xsetup' cannot be made to work then try the terminal version of 'install' using the command:

Sorry! Setup aborted . . .

I have never installed anything on Ubuntu from files, and I do not know how to do it. There are have been internet pages I have visited, but each one tells you to do it in a different method, and each one is more complicated that the last. So, I was wondering if anyone knows the simplest way of installing Matlab -
I don't know why but when I put the installation dvd ib the dvd drive Ubuntu doesn't seem to recognize it at all. How am I supposed to install it? I know my DVD drive is working fine. It recognizes other dvds. But what's happening here?
I am trying to install matlab R2011a student edition in Fedora 15, 64 bits system. This version of matlab do not support 64 bits linux out of the box, but can be installed by adding -glnx86 as an argumenof the installing script.
However after running the installation script I receive the following error message: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: /tmp/mathworks_32316/java/jre/glnx86/jre/lib/i386/xawt/libmawt.so: libXext.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
It seems to be a problem with libXext.so.6, however, I do have libXext library installed in my computer. The name of the package I have installed is: X.Org X11 libXext runtime library libXext-1.2.0-2.fc15 (x86_64)
I have installed matlab 7.9 in ubuntu 9.10. I tried to launch it on the desktop using launcher. But as I double click on it it flashes but its not opening. After seeing previous posts somewhere it is given that matlab-desktop should be used. But I am not clear where to use it. How to create a desktop icon for matlab. It got solved by adding -desktop at the end of command.
I am new in ubuntu 10.4 and want to install matlab 2009a on it. but the problem is that for the first time i use linux and ubuntu. if there is any way without using the terminal.
i needed a new harddrive and installed a new system (10.04 - previously 8.04) on it.one of the things i wanted to install is matlab, however the installer doesn't do anything. I used the same iso image before on 8.04 and the install went smoothly.i cant even get it to display the options.so i untared all matlab related files out of my 8.04 backup.can i just copy those files to the right places in my new system? guess not,but maybe there aren't that many things to modify.
I have downloaded iso image of matlab provided by my school. As I mount the image using gmount, I saw number of files. One of the file name is 'install'. I imagine this is the file which will initiate the installation process, but don't know how to use it. Do I have to go to the mount folder in terminal and type sude install ?
I've followed the guide here for installing MATLAB. The installation completed successfully, however, the launcher created doesn't launch MATLAB as MATLAB isn't installed anywhere pointed to by $PATH. What's the best way of solving this - adding MATLAB's directory to $PATH (in which case how do I go about doing so), or (re)installing MATLAB to somewhere already in $PATH?
I installed Matlab in Ubuntu 10.10. I was able to get it running and I saw the initializing screen. However it showed me an error with OpenGL "warning : could not query OpenGL" and it freezes there. I tried many things to get over with it and it didn't work.
I am trying to install Matlab v. 7.10 on my Ubuntu machine. I was able to successfully download the necessary files. However, when I attempt to install using ' ./install ', I get the following error message: Finished extracting ftp files. Starting installer ... An error status was returned by the program 'xsetup', the X Window System version of 'install'.
The following essages were written to standard error: /home/user1/mathworks_downloads/update/install/main.sh: 178: /home/user1/mathworks_downloads/update/bin/glnxa64/xsetup: not found Attempt to fix the problem and try again. If X is not available or 'xsetup' cannot be made to work then try the terminal version of 'install' using the command: install* -t or INSTALL* -t Sorry! Setup aborted . . .
I tried using the command instal* -t, as recommended by the program, but then I get this error message: Finished extracting ftp files. Starting installer ... awk: cmd. line:2: BEGIN { found = 0; extra = 9; min = 24; default = 24 } awk: cmd. line:2: ^ syntax error awk: cmd. line:6: if (nrows < min) nrows = default awk: cmd. line:6: ^ syntax error awk: cmd. line:12: END { if (found == 0) print (default - extra) } .....
I installed MATLAB R2009a in my laptop (Fedora 14 x86-64), the installation was succesful but when I run MATLAB (in a console), appears a message: error while loading shared libraries: libut.so: cannot enable executable stack as shared object requires: Permission denied
I find a "solution", execute in a terminal: execstack -c libut.so
I used several times with differents libraries that I needed, but I run MATLAB in a terminal, MATLAB starts in a terminal, only a prompt ">>" and nothing.
I have been trying to install MATLAB 2008b as a standalone version; however, every time when the process runs to 18% it shows an error as follows: "There was an error extracting the archives for MATLAB compiler. Chceck that you have enough disk space and rerun the installer."
I did have checked the disk space which is much more than enough. I have also changed few different disks that are way more than enough as well, about 5GB at least, but this error still popped out when it runs to 18%.
I am trying to install the Matlab 7.5 compiled runtime for 64-bit Linux (MCRInstaller.75.glnxa64.bin) and keep getting a "No Java Runtime Environment(JRE) was found on this system." error message.
I understand the JRE is bundled with MCRInstaller and will self-compile/install. However, I don't have admin access, could this be the source of the problem? If so, how could I fix it (not sure how to direct it to install locally without going into the source code)?
I got around this error before, but stupid me didn't write down what I did and I forgot.
I'm having a really annoying problem with matlab and I've finally resolved to fix it. I just can't paste in matlab at all. I can copy and cut, just not paste.
I have installed latest MATLAB in Ubuntu 10.04.1. I gave the installation directory as /home/Matlab. Now how do I start the MATLAB? Any executable anywhere?
I am trying to install Matlab in 9.10 x86, but the installer gives me the following. I've tried as sudo, then with "install -glnx86", but it always gives me these lines.
Code: ibo@ibo-laptop:~/Desktop/MatLab R2010b [UNIX]$ ./install dirname: missing operand Try `dirname --help' for more information.
I'm suddenly having an odd problem after running Matlab successfully on my 10.10 system for a while.When I try to open Matlab now with
Code: matlab -glnx86 -desktop matlab only opens in console mode and doesn't load the jvm desktop. It doesn't report any errors. The command Code: version('-java'); gives no response.
If I try to run a command in the console such as plot, I get the following warning: Code: Warning: This functionality is no longer supported under the -nojvm startup option So, matlab is somehow starting with the -nojvm option even though I'm explicitly telling it not to with the -desktop flag. I don't know how this has suddenly changed today. When I first set Matlab up on Maverick a few weeks ago I followed https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MATLAB to get the java stuff working properly. Does anyone have ideas on where -nojvm might be implicitly set or log files I can access to give me more info on why this might be happening?
I am trying to install matlab onto my personal laptop. When I start to download I get a file "download_agent" I have updated my java to the most recent edition and when I run "javaws download_agent" I get this error :

Cannot write to preference file "matlab.prf" in "/home/jiangmi/.matlab/R2010a".Check file permissions.every time i run matlab by typing matlab in the terminal,i see this error messagei can run some m files, but i can not use ctrl+A to copy, etc.when i view the permission, i find below:
jiangmi@jiangmi-laptop:~/.matlab/R2010a$ ls -rl total 1368 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1265183 2010-06-05 20:04 toolbox_cache-7.10.0-2356054188-glnx86.xml
I have installed Matlab into /opt/matlab and the file to run the program is located in /opt/matlab/bin and is called matlab. I created a file:
#! /bin/bash /opt/matlab/bin/matlab and placed it in /usr/bin.
From there, I can run matlab by typing 'matlab' in a Terminal window. My problem is that I created a link in my start menu with the command 'matlab' but all I get is the splash screen for 5-10 secs then the program crashes out. However, when I run it from a Terminal, it loads up just fine.
I'm having troubles with ubuntu Natty."Randomly" I'm thrown out back to the log-in page; I saw some threads online talking about xserver crashes but I didn't find any solution.I noticed it happens more often (but not always) when I use this matlab code to delete all the matlab figures.
Matlab code (not mine):
----------------------- f = findobj(0); f(f == 0) = []; set(f, 'DeleteFcn', '') f = findobj('Type', 'figure');;

I recently shifted from windows to Linux(Ubuntu). I need to install Matlab now. I have a windows version matlab software. How to install it in Ubuntu. Can install it using Wine?
I need to set up permissions for matlab (at least I think permissions is the problem). I haven't been able to find any conclusive instructions how to set permissions and the advice I see are often confusing or contradictory. I have installed matlab (64-bit version) using root account as that was recommended by the installer and everything seems fine except for the error message I got after installation:
[root@localhost User]# /mnt/dvd/install The following messages were written to standard error while running 'xsetup' the X Window System version of 'install'. xsetup: Unable to load required font. Warning: This program is an suid-root program or is being run by the root user. The full text of the error or warning message cannot be safely formatted in this environment. You may get a more descriptive message by running the program as a non-root user or by removing the suid bit on the executable. Warning: Cannot convert string "%s" to type %s Check the content of the installation output file (backend):
/usr/local/lib64/matlab/install_matlab.out Error messages found: Warning: Permission Problem With MATLAB Files! | Checked some files in your MATLAB root directory. These are bad:| -r--r--r--. (not world readable) - ./toolbox/matlab/general/diary.m .....
Can I set up permissions to make it work afterwards? If so - how? I see the error message talking about the permissions being -r--r--r-- which I guess is only readable to all users. But should I set permissions to folders, executables or both? Was there anything I could have done before installation to make this work? I'm rather new to linux though I feel quite comfortable to work with the terminal. My system is fedora 13.
I found this excellent resource: [URL]. Though I'm still not sure how to set up permissions and I'm a bit hesitant as I don't want to create any security holes in my system. Would it be enough for me to give executable rights for my user to the program files in usr/local/bin? Now that I look at the permissions it seems I already have permission (through others...?) to the mentioned files. ... -r-xr-xr-x. 1 root root 174426 5 jan 2010 librxtxSerial.so -r-xr-xr-x. 1 root root 94246 4 jan 2010 libtbbmalloc.so.2 ...
