Issue Launching MATLAB R2025a on Arch Linux with GNOME 48

Good afternoon,I attempted to install MATLAB R2025a on Arch Linux running GNOME 48. The installation completed successfully; however, upon launching the application, it immediately closes and displays the following error:

Please use code /code tags for such output.

arch wiki lists 3 methods to install matlab , which one did you follow ?
See https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/MATLAB

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

clean chroot building not flexible enough ?

I use the 1.2 Installing from the MATLAB installation software. Download the software from the matlab site.

Re: Issue Launching MATLAB R2025a on Arch Linux with GNOME 48

Please run 

/usr/local/MATLAB/R2025a/bin/matlab

in a (gui)-terminal as your normal user and post the output it shows in the terminal.

Re: Issue Launching MATLAB R2025a on Arch Linux with GNOME 48

I've also had the same issue today.

I tried launching ./bin/glnxa64/MathWorksProductAuthorizer in order to login to my account (for some reason matlab didn't ask for it, it just launched with no logged user and then crashed_.
I logged in and activated matlab.

However, I was still not logged in inside matlab. I couldn't log in on matlab R2024b too, but there was no crash back then.

This is a known bug somehow related to latest glibc changes.
This thread resolved my login issue on R2024b and fixed the crash on R2025a:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=303177

See post #10. Ofc you need to adjust the paths to your username and the new release version.

Hope this helps!

Note: You may also need to run ./bin/glnxa64/MathWorksProductAuthorizer after patching matlab libs.

Re: Issue Launching MATLAB R2025a on Arch Linux with GNOME 48

Exactly what I needed to set up my matlab (but on KDE) nicknicker ! Solved my problem (same one as OP).
Only needed to disable stack execution permission on libmwfoundation_crash_handling.so (see executable stack error with MATLAB versions at or before R2024b)

Thanks !

Re: Issue Launching MATLAB R2025a on Arch Linux with GNOME 48

Hi!
The suggested solution doesn't work for me. What I did:

$ execstack -c /home/XXX/.MathWorks/ServiceHost/-mw_shared_installs/v2025.5.1.1/bin/glnxa64/libmwfoundation_crash_handling.so
$ execstack -c /home/XXX/.MathWorks/ServiceHost/-mw_shared_installs/v2025.5.1.1/bin/glnxa64/mathworksservicehost/rcf/matlabconnector/serviceprocess/rcf/service/libmwmshrcfservice.so
# /usr/local/MATLAB/R2025a/bin/glnxa64/MathWorksProductAuthorizer

and all worked well, with no errors. But I still get

$ /usr/local/MATLAB/R2025a/bin/matlab

I got the exact same crash report, and R2024a works too.

Re: Issue Launching MATLAB R2025a on Arch Linux with GNOME 48

I am getting precisely the same crash report with R2025A. Curiously, MATLAB itself starts without problems and is usable — the crash only occurs when I attempt to start a parallel pool (with the Parallel Computing Toolbox).

Odd… in my case R2024B works fine, and it’s R2025A which crashes.

(And I’m on gnutls-3.8.9-1, so my problem can’t be that in the thread linked by seth.)

We'll have to see some for of log/error/debug output/backtrace to gauge your situation.

Re: Issue Launching MATLAB R2025a on Arch Linux with GNOME 48

Thanks seth for the pointer to the other discussion, not only it solved the new issue with R2024b (broken after an update last week), but for me it also fixed the issue with R2025a. BTW, just to be sure, I did the trick with gnutls-3.8.8-1.

Re: Issue Launching MATLAB R2025a on Arch Linux with GNOME 48

Edit: doing the trick with gnutls 3.8.8-1 fixes also R2025a
Using the fix provided by seth lets me use R2024b but i still got a crash with 2025a:

Re: Issue Launching MATLAB R2025a on Arch Linux with GNOME 48

You're hitting the exact same backtrace as gregdvd, so just  to be sure

Edit: doing the trick with gnutls 3.8.8-1 fixes also R2025a

means injecting the older gnutls into the library path as in https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=306939 also provides the same fix for this backtrace?
