Installation on Linux Mint

I installed R2015a on my computer following the directions laid out at: help.ubuntu.com/community/MATLAB. It's ubuntu and I run Mint, but Mint is based on 14.04 so under the hood it should be similar.

I install and activate without problem, but when I run matlab in the terminal I get:

terminate called after throwing an instance of  fl::except::Exception<MATLAB::settings::core::NoWritePermissionOnDirectory, std::exception, void>'
  what():  N2fl6except9ExceptionIN6MATLAB8settings4core28NoWritePermissionOnDirectoryESt9exceptionvEE
Aborted
MATLAB is selecting SOFTWARE OPENGL rendering.

At this point nothing happens for a long time; the Matlab logo and license image shows up and tells me which license I have, but doesn't proceed.

Any Linux users know what might be going on?

Thanks

I just followed the same link you posted and got the same error trying to reinstall MATLAB. After googling for no answers for some time I realized that I forgot to change the 'username' tag in the following line of the instructions with my actual username =). Change that and it should be fixed. Hope this helps to other sleepy folks out there as well.

cd ~ sudo chown username -R ~/.matlab
