Linux Matlab 2022b "Error Starting Desktop"

Whenever I start Matlab 2022b with a new named license, I always have "Error Starting Desktop" error.

When I added -nodesktop optional to matlab, it was fine. However I would like to see desktop.

I have this issue with 2022b and a named license in linux. However it is fine with 2019b and a floating license on the same linux.

Exception is "java.lang.NullpointException" as in attachment of the original post.

Have you solved this issue? I just bumped into the same thing with R2022b

[George Zhou]

No, I didn't. Since Matlab works fine with my Mac, I didn't put much time on this issue.

It seems the issue is associated with Java library. However I cannot figure out what is the exactly issue and solution.

matlab -nodesktop

matlab -nojvm

matlab -nodisplay

all are fine.

Linux version:

Virtualization: kvm

Operating System: Debian GNU/Linux rodete

Kernel: Linux 5.19.11-1rodete1-amd64

Architecture: x86-64

Java version:

openjdk version "11.0.13" 2022-12-02
