MATLAB 2021b Installation error

pe flag

The

sudo ./install

command does not open up the installer. The install file shows as an executable file. It asks for password and after that nothing, it keeps processing, but does not show any result. I use a Ubuntu 20.04.3 dual booted alongside with Windows in a HP Series 15 laptop.

I am trying to install the latest Matlab version R2021b.

Have already tried "sudo chmod -R 777 matlab_R2021b_glnxa64"

Switch to Xorg session first. Also note that you can run `./install` script with limited user rights. It will be installed into your home folder as the result. All you need would be addind its installation folder to `$PATH` variable.

I had similar issue when installing MATLAB 2021b, Ubuntu 18.04. Installing it on x11 failed but was successful after switching to wayland. To know which session you are on run:

$ loginctl show-session "$XDG_SESSION_ID" -p Type

For more info on how to switch between x11 and wayland, check out https://www.maketecheasier.com/switch-xorg-wayland-ubuntu1710/

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
