Hi there,

I’m trying to solve this problem for hours, yet I don’t have any solution. Looked through installation docs, but couldn’t find why the problem occurs. I installed MATLAB R2023a without a problem via the ISO file which my school gave me. When I try to run the matlab, "MATLAB is selecting SOFTWARE OPENGL rendering." message comes and after a second, process stops without an error(?). The program wouldn’t start either.
My gcc and g++ versions were 12, I downgraded them to 11 since its says the latest version it supports is 11 in Matlab docs. However it didn’t work.
I also tried
./matlab -nosoftwareopengl
this time the message I mentioned earlier doesn’t come up, but process again stops after a second.
I checked my system resources, my CPU usage increases for a second but memory usage stands still.
I installed two times into different locations to check if it’s about permissions or whatnot, but it didn’t help.
I tried other suggestions from this forum, but no help.
No solution yet.. I’d be happy if we can sort this out 🙁
My machine has AMD Ryzen 4600H as a CPU, and also integrated GPU known as AMD Radeon Graphics.

UPDATE:
I tried to use free-trial version from the website, it’s R2023b and worked fine. These are the some logs after running it:

Also when I run some basic tasks like imshow(), and rgb2gray(); it gives this warning:
Warning: MATLAB has disabled some advanced graphics rendering features by switching to software OpenGL. For more information,

I’m adding these outputs for troubleshooting. If you need anything else, I can provide happily!Hi there,
