Cannot install MATLAB drive connector in Ubuntu 22.04

Dear all,

Upon successfully installing MATLAB R2022 in Ubuntu 22.04 I tried installing MATLAB drive connector without success.

Even though the installation process allows me to insert my Mathworks account's email it does not allow me to insert my Mathworks password. In the former case the cursor blinks and I can see characters as I type them. In the latter case this is not true.

Please note that when I start the installer from the commandline (using the BASH shell) with the command

sh mathworksservicehost_1.13.0.1_glnxa64_installer.bin

I get the following message.

Gtk-Message: 17:26:23.836: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"

but the installer continues until it does not allow me to insert my Mathworks account password.

You assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Kind regards.

Gerald.

You can install MATLAB drive connector as mentioned in the following link:

If this does not work for you, then you will have to contact MathWorks Installation Support.

Dear Sushranth,

Thank you for the response.

I contacted MathsWorks Installation Support and they helped me to resolve the issue. In Gnome tweaks I played with switching the window focus between 'click on focus' and 'focus on hover'.

Regards.

Gerald.

How did you successfully install it? Thanks.

@Sammy In Gnome tweaks I played with switching the window focus between 'click on focus' and 'focus on hover'.

[Sammy]

I do this while installing MatLab Connector? Do I install it manually or through terminal this way?

[Gerald Marewo]

Both ways run the same installer.

[Sammy]

It doesn't show the details, just a blank window that it's setting up like the picture below.

Please get in touch with MATLAB support for help.

[Sammy]

OK, thanks.

Rey pude arreglar el problema descargando el archivo (instalador .bin) https://www.mathworks.com/products/matlab-drive.html?s_tid=AO_MLConnector#matlab-drive-connector

Luego ingrese a la terminal desde la carpeta donde está el archivo e ingresé los siguientes comandos:

sudo chmod + "instalador".bin

ingresé contraseña, y dejó instalar de pana.

Me da la impresión que el problema se debe a que el instalador necesitas permisos de superusuarios en todo el codigo y como no se los entregamos de un inicio tiene problemas para ejecutarlo, con el chmod uno agrega permiso de super usuario al script completo (si no me equivoco) entonces con eso se arregla.
