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 ?
Try clean chroot manager by graysky

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.
