Installed matlab2019b successfully but can't open it, can someone help me out?

Hi there:

I just installed the MATLAB2019b on the ubuntu1604 but when i tried to open it in the terminal:

cd /usr/local/MATLAB/R2019b/bin

./matlab

the matlab window just showed up for one second or two with lots of yellow warnings , and then suddenly crashed and got closed, leaving the terminal with these msgs:

Gtk-Message: 16:45:23.114: Failed to load module "overlay-scrollbar"

Gtk-Message: 16:45:23.114: Failed to load module "unity-gtk-module"

Gtk-Message: 16:45:23.124: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"

段错误 (核心已转储) // which means "segment fault (core dumped)"

I googled and found nothing about the problem nor the related solution. I installed twice and the problem sitll appears ,so anyone can help me out? Thanks a lot!

For R2019b running on Ubuntu 16.04:

$ export GTK_PATH=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gtk-2.0

$ export LIBOVERLAY_SCROLLBAR=0

$ export GIO_EXTRA_MODULES=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gio/modules

The LIBOVERLAY_SCROLLBAR and GIO_EXTRA_MODULES environment variables do not need to be set in later versions of Ubuntu.

you can try this:

sudo apt-get install libcanberra-gtk-module

if it doesn't work, try another one:

sudo apt-get install libcanberra-gtk-module:i386

good luck to you.

I had the same issue, and mine was due to licence. I Run ./activate_matlab.sh at Matlab folder, and selected an individual licence instead of designated (I had these two options, I don't know if it's your case).

It worked for me...
