MATLAB is selecting SOFTWARE OPENGL rendering when open matlab as user

112 views (last 30 days)
I just installed R2023a on a remote linux machine running RHEL 7 kernel 3.10.0.1160.95.1.el7.x86. as root and entered root as the username for the install wizard.
When I open matlab as root it works, but when I try it as a regular user, I see MATLAB is selecting SOFTWARE OPENGL rendering. 2 times and then nothing happens. Have tried setting the display variable as a user to DISPLAY=:0.0 and changing shell to bash but no joy.
Any ideas are much appreciated!

You can start Matlab in Linux without OpenGL using:
matlab -nosoftwareopengl

Is it possoble that installing as root has created a permissions issue somewhere for the regular users. Ideally, I want other system users to be able to use the installation

I just did a fresh install and ran into this problem,
sudo chmod a+rX -cR /opt/MATLAB/
solved the problem for me. (Install locations may vary).
