Ubuntu- get rid of blank screen in MATLAB installed within Ubuntu


There is sometimes a problem with the MATLAB in Ubuntu. The problem is that after installing MATLAB, you might get just a blank screen (blank GUI window) without any option menu, command line, etc. To solve this problem, find the file “environment” (the path is: /etc/environment). Add the following line to the file and try again:

export AWT_TOOLKIT=”MToolkit”

The problem should have been solved. If not, try restarting your computer.
