Graphics issues linux. Completely blank screen

26 views (last 30 days)
Hi,
I've been having issues with the graphics on a new installation of matlab. I'm new to linux so any help would be appreciated. Initially it wasn't able to see crocus_dri.so, kms_swrast_dri.so, swrast_dri.so, or zink_dri.so in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ so I created a dri directory /usr/lib/dri and i put symbolic links to these in that folder and it was able to see them. Then there was an issue where the correct version of GLIBCXX was not found on these files so following the response here to direct MATLAB to use the system's libstdc++ library rather than the MATLAB shipped version.
When I run matlab the entire window is just blank. When I hover over parts of it the text describing the buttons comes up so I assume it is working functionally but is not displaying anything. The only error message is this
Fontconfig warning: "/usr/share/fontconfig/conf.avail/05-reset-dirs-sample.conf", line 6: unknown element "reset-dirs"
I am stuck on this so would greatly appreciate any solitions. Thanks.

Hey Ryan,
I understand that you are facing the error 'Fontconfig warning: "/usr/share/fontconfig/conf.avail/05-reset-dirs-sample.conf", line 6: unknown element "reset-dirs"'.
The warning message seems to depend on the font settings of your OS. Please check related information is in the following Arch Linux bug page:
I hope this helps!
