Matlab segmentation fault.

I am using Ubuntu 15.10. Matlab has been working but all of a sudden started seg-faulting on startup. I just tried reinstalling and it does not help.

MATLAB crash file:/home/chase/matlab_crash_dump.11626-1:

If they did not contact you after you submitted a Service Request via: http://www.mathworks.com/support/contact_us/ then I suggest that you call them on the telephone. I don't know if it's staffed on weekends though.
