Can't launch webwindow content on Linux (CentOS 7)

3 views (last 30 days)
I can't launch any part of matlab which uses "webwindow" functionality. Other windows open up and render properly (Simulink, Matlab windows for example, function as normal).
I am connecting to this machine over an SSH X tunnel, so this may have something to do with it. (I do have physical access to the machine if needed).
The issue appears to be just "webwindow" related. Launching the "Get Add-Ons" menu does not result in the add-ons browser window opening. Nothing happens, and sadly no error messages result from this.
Because I'm trying to install the Raspberry Pi support pack for Simulink, I downloaded the support pack manually. When I run the support pack installer, I finally get an error message:
If anyone could point me in the right direction to get this working, I'd really appreciate it.
Quick summary: * WebWindow applications (Get Add-Ons and Install Support Package windows for example) are not opening, or returning error messages and not opening * I am connecting to the box over an SSH X tunnel * Matlab version is R2017A (build 9.2.0.538062) 64-bit * The machine is running CentOS linux 7 64-bit.
Thanks!

I just crashed matlab, I'm not sure if this is related.

I resolved this. It appears that installing libXScrnSaver and libXss.so.1 fixed whatever was preventing this from working.
I found this thread on Mathworks Answers which appears to be a similar issue (if not identical):
https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/309629-cannot-open-add-on-window-on-linux
and ran the commands in this reply:
https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/309629-cannot-open-add-on-window-on-linux#comment_408276
In summary, install libXScrnSaver and libX.ss.so.1, and run these commands from the aforementioned thread:
>> cd(matlabroot)
>> cd bin/glnxa64
>> !./MATLABWindow -url=http://mathworks.com --disable-gpu
