Matlab 2025b does not start, Segmentation violation

hello,
I am trying to start matlab 2025b on my system. I already have a running version of 2024b. Fix for that is documented here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=308046

I would like to update to 2025b, if possible. The original tricks with changing gnutls no longer seem to work and the same:

** This crash report has been saved to disk as /home/samo/matlab_crash_dump.20282-1 **



MATLAB is exiting because of fatal error
Fatal Error:
Throw location unknown (consider using BOOST_THROW_EXCEPTION)
Dynamic exception type: mwboost::wrapexcept<std::runtime_error>
std::exception::what: Transport stopped.

Running patchelf and execstack does not resolve the issue anymore.

Did anyone manage to get the new matlab version up and running. What steps changed since the 2024b version?

I am installing it viia the MPM (matlab package manager). maybe that's the root cause of the issue?
Thank you

Re: Matlab 2025b does not start, Segmentation violation

Do you run into this w/ the older gnutls and the normal or lts kernel?

Re: Matlab 2025b does not start, Segmentation violation

Yes, what I do is that I install matlab and change gnutls to the older vrsion. Different kernels have no effect.
