Any clues? The problem persists also with Matlab r2018a, and it's really annoying to run it with sudo permissions...
Plots with OpenGL look distorted; without OpenGL unable to plot at all unless running Matlab as an administrator

Hi,
I'm running Matlab r2017b on Ubuntu 18.04. Since I upgraded to Ubuntu 18.04 from Ubuntu 17.10 I'm having problem plotting:
If I run Matlab without OpenGL and try to plot, I get the following error:
MATLAB has experienced a low-level graphics error, and may not have drawn correctly.
Read about what you can do to prevent this issue at Resolving Low-Level Graphics Issues then restart MATLAB.
To share details of this issue with MathWorks technical support, please include this file with your service request.
and nothing is plotted (I get an empty figure). The log file says:

If I run it with OpenGL, the graphics are plotted, but look distorted (e.g. an "o"-shaped marker doesn't look perfectly round).
Is there are way to solve the problem without running Matlab with sudo?
Thanks!

I have a set of subplots generated from my work. When the plot is activated, some parts of it will be missing entirely. Initial diagnosis says that OpenGL is at fault and should be upgraded to version 3.3 or later. Does anyone have advise as to how I can safely download and install the OpenGL 3.3.? Ken
