MATLAB opens Simulinkand Add-On Explorere as blank windows

Hi everyone,

when I try to open Simulink, a blank window shows up. The same applies for the Add-On Explorer.

I have already tried to uninstall and re-install MATLAB.

Can anyone help me? Does anyone has the same issue?

I am using MATLAB R2022a on Ubuntu 18.04.

Hi,

I have the same problem

I'm using matlab R2022b, when trying to open Simulink it's stuck in 'initializing'.

Also the add-on explorer doesn't work.

Any help is welcome

Hi @Vincenzo Petrone,

The reason for this issue might be graphics driver incompatibilities with the libraries that we currently have.

The following workarounds are known to solve this issue:

1) Opengl-

• Start a fresh copy of MATLAB .
• Run the command "opengl software".

2) An alternative approach which will have a narrower impact would be to add the following to startup.m script

• wm = matlab.internal.webwindowmanager.instance
• wm.setStartupOptions('ExtProcess','--disable-gpu');

Refer this <link> for more info on startup file.

Unfortunately, this did not solve my problem.

Thank you anyway
