It's because your MATLAB installation directory is not added in your $PATH. Assuming the MATLAB installation directory is /usr/local/MATLAB/R2019b, you need to add the sub directory "bin".

If you have sudo privilege, create a symbolic link in /usr/local/bin.

sudo ln -s /usr/local/MATLAB/R2019b/bin/matlab /usr/local/bin/matlab

If you don't have sudo privilege, change your PATH environment dynamically.

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/MATLAB/R2019b/bin

It might be convinient to add path in your bashrc file.

vi ~/.bashrc

and add the export PATH command written above in bashrc.

Then, save the bashrc and reload.

source ~/.bashrc

MATLAB: 2014b crashing on graphics access (Linux, Laptop Graphics)

Eventually I submit this to the Matlab Support.

Note: I "solved" this by using the open-source and not the proprietary driver.

MATLAB: Do I receive the error, “libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.22′ not found” when trying to start MATLAB on Ubuntu 18.04

The libstdc++ library shipped with Ubuntu 18.04 may be older and may not contain the required GLIBCXX version that MATLAB requires.

To resolve this issue you may upgrade the libstdc++ libraries by running the following command as they appear:

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

Use MATLAB's libraries by setting the environment variable:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/MATLAB/R2018b/sys/os/glnxa64

Then attempt to open MATLAB again.
