right click 'open current folder in file manager' not working - Ubuntu/Linux

4 views (last 30 days)
Hi, when I right click in the 'Current Folder' view on the LHS of Matlab its supposed to open the file manager if I select 'open current folder in file manager' but it just does nothing.
Any ideas?

Does !xdg-open Desktop/ give an error, such as not being able to find xdg-open ? Or does it just silently not open the directory?

Hi Mark,
This issue is possibly caused due to dependency of MATLAB shipped "libstdc++.so.6" on GLIBCXX and CXXABI libraries, which are missing on your system. In general libstdc++.so.6 does not require these files and you should be able to workaround this issue by forcing MATLAB to use the shared library from your system, instead of the one shipped with MATLAB. To do this, use the following method:
1. Navigate to the following folder:
matlabroot/sys/os/glnxa64
which I believe is
/usr/local/MATLAB/R2017b/sys/os/glnxa64/
in your case.
2. Rename the file libstdc++.so.6 to libstdc++.so.6.old
This should resolve the issue that you are facing.
Hope this helps!
Prashant

Hi Mark, Do you know the exact name of the file (libxml2.so.version) in your system? I think it should be present in the /usr/lib64/ directory. Using this exact file name, you should create a symbolic link as described in the article referenced above. You should also change the name back to libxml.so.2 and remove the "old" suffix before proceeding with symbolic link creation.

Hi Prashant, (I'm somewhat new to the structure of linux file system so bare with me please). I don't have /usr/lib64 only /usr/lib and in /usr/lib there is no libxml file.
