I installed R2022b using the installer method in Linux. Upon installing the GUI is showing a window full of error starting desktop message and shutting down. Any help in how to fix this?

also in command terminal i am seeing this message as well.

Hi Mani,

This problem appears to have been addressed in the MATLAB R2024a release.

As a workaround, you might consider removing the "fontconfig" library files from your MATLAB installation. This involves deleting the following files from the matlab/bin/glnxa64 folder:

• libfontconfig.so.1
• libfontconfig.so.1.12.0

Hope it helps!
