I have been using MATLAB2014b on Ubuntu 15.10 without any issue until the recent Ubuntu update. After the patch, MATLAB crashes after the splash screen. (See the error report below.) I wonder if there is anything in my system causing the trouble?
I have tried removing and reinstalling MATLAB, and removing the .matlab directory but the problem still persists.
(Note: Command line mode using '-nodesktop' option doesn't seem to be affected by this issue.)
