always stuck at job test validate--cluster profile manager

I'm using parallel computing toolbox. Before calling command 'matlabpool', it seems that we need to validate the local profile in cluster profile manager. But my matlab always stuck at job test(create job). Please see the following figure:

By the way, my system is ubuntu and matlab is 2013Ra.

Was this solved? I have the exact same problem with ubuntu and matlab 2013b. The annoying part is that it doesn't even give an error message! Thanks

Hmmm.. I haven't tried it on R2013b but it works well for me on R2013a and LTS 12.04

What ubuntu Version are you using? I assume you have the 64 bit linux version of matlab. Can you try running MATLAB as sudo (This might solve problems if MATLAB was trying to create temporary files in a location it did not have write privileges)

I'll install R2013b and get back as well.

Indeed it works with sudo. When working with the normal account I have tried to modify the JobStorageLocation from Parallel -> Manage Cluster Profiles -> Properties -> (Folder where cluster stores job data) but this still doesn't seem to solve the issue... :'(
