openGL error whenever starting MATLAB on Ubuntu

Whenever I start MATLAB, there's always same error message like below. It was fine when I've first installed, but someday it started with this problem.

I'm using 2015a version on ubuntu 16.04 and I've tried before with opengl command. It looked work well because there's no more error message that I mentioned above, but it was failed to use some toolbox functions such as Psychtoolbox. How can I solve it ??
matlab -softwareopengl

According to the description of 'Psychtoolbox', the toolbox uses Hardware-accelerated OpenGL. Using '-softwareopengl' flag makes MATLAB use Software OpenGL.
Try to run MATLAB using the following start-up command. This ensures that graphics libraries are loaded in the right order when MATLAB starts.
matlab -nodesktop -r "opengl info, desktop"
