Problems at start in ubuntu 24.04.2

I have recently installed MATLAB 2024b in an Ubuntu 24.04.2 system. When starting MATLAB I obtain the following errors:

com.jogamp.opengl.GLException: X11GLXDrawableFactory - Could not initialize shared resources for X11GraphicsDevice[type .x11, connection :0, unitID 0, handle 0x0, owner false, ResourceToolkitLock[obj 0x5ba0b5eb, isOwner false, <547a2415, 132f6fd1>[count 0, qsz 0, owner <NULL>]]]

... 2 more

moreover I have also the error message

Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"

despite I have installed all the canberra modules...

Do you have any Ideas of what is going on?

Thanks,

Carlos

I'm also experiencing this on Debian 12 when trying to use Intel integrated graphics, so presumably there is an incompatibility we have in common...

According to MATLAB and Simulink Requirements 24.04 is supported.

It would be best for you to Contact Support for installation problems.

Please post back here with the solutions MathWorks provides.

In the interim, this Tom’s Hardware post (that I first read a couple days ago) may be relevant.
