Matlab installation (sudo ./install) on Ubuntu 22.04 hangs despite using "xhost +SI:localuser:root"

unzip matlab_R2022a_glnxa.zip -d matlab generates files and subdirectories in matlab directory

next running: sudo ./install commence the installation, but the installation process stops after having generated a small matlab icon (which seem to show an image of the request to enter my email)

Hi,

I understand you are getting blank screen while trying to install MATLAB on ubuntu. You can follow the steps to resolve the issue:

1. Move the installer folder to /opt/
2. Give root ownership of the installer folder (for example: chown -R root:root matlab_R2023a_glnxa64)
3. Run the installer from this folder as root

I hope this helps you.
