MATLAB: Matlab 2014b on ubuntu 14.04 seems not to work; no command can be executed

MATLABmatlab 2014bubuntu 14.04

Hi, it seems that matlab 2014b on my ubuntu 14.04 is not able to execute any command. Installation is fine (at least, matlab starts up fine and I do not get any errors). When matlab is loaded and ready to be used, if I issue a command (any command, even quit) it gets stuck and remains 'busy' indefinitely.

Any suggestion?

Many thanks,

Lorenzo

After upgrading the kernel to version 3.13.0-40-generic, I have reinstalled MATLAB 2014b from the beginning and now it works.

MATLAB: Matlab stop/crash/not work when i try to start Simulink

Hi everyone,

This is believed to caused by a bug in glibc 2.19, the default in Ubuntu 14.04. The upstream bug report can be found below:

https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=13862

The bug can cause sporadic crashes during various actions within MATLAB.

As a workaround, I recommend upgrading Ubuntu versions to a version with glibc 2.21 installed by default, or working with the Ubuntu community to upgrade the glibc version on 14.04 to 2.21 or later.

If you still run into issues after upgrading glibc to 2.21 or later, please contact Technical Support.

Thanks!
