Matlab R2016B Add-Ons Explorer / MATLABWindow command

Hello!

I have made several installations of Matlab r2016b with and without AUR script. With all the same result.

It works all correct ... including simulink, but I can not get the Add-ons explorer to work.

I've even tried it on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and it works everything correctly. So I am still more motivated to get it in Arch Linux (I love!), specifically in the Manjaro distribution with XFCE.

I have corrected the symbolic links of the libraries pango and libfreetype as indicated in the wikiArch. I've even updated jxbrowser and everything stays the same. The Help explorer works, but the Add-ons Explorer still does not work, goes blank window.

To recreate the error and debug it, I use MATLABWindow that opens the window and loads (sometimes it is seen for a brief moment of time the page) and stays blank.

The messages in command window are as follows:

    >> cd(matlabroot); cd bin/glnxa64; !./MATLABWindow -url=http://mathworks.com --disable-gpu

Also, I tried "webutils.htmlrenderer('basic');" with the similar results.

I hope you can give me some idea and learn something more! Thanks!!!

Hi Sergio,

Are you able to install add-ons or hardware support packages by downloading them from the File Exchange?

Could you run these commands to see if you are able to open a CEF web window:

 >> cefWindow = matlab.internal.webwindow('www.mathworks.com');
 >> cefWindow.bringToFront

Your error messages include the line 'Running without a SUID sandbox!', have you tried following the steps on this webpage?

Hello!

After all this time, I have tried many combinations. Indeed, I can manually install the extensions.

Instead, the problem continues if I execute the commands that you have commented to me, the result is a white window. As with the command I used in the main post.

I'm really starting to think that the problem is about sandbox. What you think? The link about SUID Sandbox I've already seen it, but I do not know how to relate it to Matlab. It seems that it can be configuration problems or dependencies of the jxbrowser-chromium used by Matlab.

Thank you very much, as always.

Please try to run the following in the MATLAB Command Window:

>> opengl software 

And then try opening the Add on explorer again. It worked for me.

If that works, you can save the preference so that MATLAB always opens with Software OpenGL by running:

>> opengl('save','software')
