Matlab 2018b cannot plot on Ubuntu 18.04

At first start I got an error from ubuntu terminal

Gtk-Message: 11:48:40.996: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"

Then I installed the package, the terminal error is gone. But in matlab command window, there are red letters like this:

com.jogamp.opengl.GLException: X11GLXDrawableFactory - Could not initialize shared resources for X11GraphicsDevice[type .x11, connection :0, unitID 0, handle 0x0, owner false, ResourceToolkitLock[obj 0x455753f2, isOwner false, <653fc108, 7569f1fc>[count 0, qsz 0, owner <NULL>]]]

I cannot plot when this happens.

Your help is appreciated!

You should try this:

sudo apt install libcanberra-gtk-module

I had the same issue on R2018a and it worked!

sudo apt install libcanberra-gtk0
