Most curious. It would be of tremendous help if you could find another application that behaves like that, one that is opensource and part of the ubuntu archive preferably.
DISPLAY being set to, for example, localhost:10.0, is indicating that the X alls are going through ssh in that particular case. It's setup by the -X parameter. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to openssh in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1726595 Title: Running Matlab (R) from ssh session with X forwarding doesn't work anymore in 17.10 Status in openssh package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: OBSERVED BEHAVIOR: Matlab stays in busy state when using some functions like "plot" or even "exit", while executing through a ssh tunnel with X11 forwarding. REPRODUCE THE BUG: You need matlab (my version is R2017a) to reproduce the bug. I suspect any version >= 2014b would reproduce the bug (HG2 framework), and maybe any version. 1. Connect to self (or from other machine) with X forwarding: $ ssh -X user@localhost 2. Launch matlab $ matlab & 3. Plot something >> plot(1,1) ADDITIONAL INFORMATION - Normal behavior would be appearance of a new window and a single point at position (1,1). - No ressources seem to be used. - Opening a figure alone is possible. (>> figure). Opening other windows from the graphical user interface is possible - Opening Matlab without the java machine seems to work, but matlab relies heavily on java. At least "exit" which doesn't work with java, works without java. - Providing Matlab with open-jdk version 1.8.0_144 didn't change anything. - This used to work perfectly for as long as I have been using Ubuntu (since 2012).
