Dear all,

I am not able to start matlab R2014b under LinuxMint MATE 17. After running

matlab -e

I get the following error message:

I already searched for the MATE_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID error but was not able to find something related to my prblem. If someone has a solution I would be really happy!

Best, Daniel
