I can confirm the problem. All solutions posted on the ubuntu/matlab forums don't work on Gusty-64bit. I tried (in all possible permutations) the following:
export XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1 export AWT_TOOLKIT=MToolkit and one of: export MATLAB_JAVA=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre export MATLAB_JAVA=/usr/lib/jvm/java-5-sun/jre export MATLAB_JAVA=/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-icedtea/jre each time updating the jre with sudo update-alternatives --config java I also created a symbolic link motif12->motif21 in the lib/amd64/ of each jre distribution (as suggested on the matlab forums) to get passed the first error message, but this produces a matlab segmentation fault consistently (irrespective of the jre version). To get a bit more info on the "Segmentation violation" error (as reported by MAtlab) one could try to run "matlab -nodesktop". This causes a segmentation fault, but at least you get a matlab crash dump. Bug 151021 claims that the java/compiz problem is fixed with jdk1.6.0_02, but the lates jre1.6.0_03 seems to still have the problem... -- Ubuntu 7.10: Mathematica and Matlab conflict with Compiz-fusion https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/153045 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
