I installed MATLAB on my Arch Machine and if i open it nothing more than a little text "ready" on a blank screen appears.

The windows for choosing the license and accepting the eula worked.

Hi Konrad,

I understand the issue you’re facing while launching the MATLAB on Arch machine. This issue can be caused by various factors, but I can provide some general troubleshooting steps to help you resolve it:

1. Check System Requirements: Ensure that your Arch machine meets the system requirements for running MATLAB. Verify that you have the necessary hardware specifications and software dependencies.
2. Reinstall MATLAB: Try reinstalling MATLAB on your Arch machine. Make sure to follow the installation instructions provided by MathWorks and ensure that the installation process completes successfully without any errors.
3. Update Graphics Drivers: Update your graphics drivers to the latest version. Outdated or incompatible graphics drivers can sometimes cause display issues with MATLAB. Visit the website of your graphics card manufacturer and download the latest drivers for your specific graphics card model.
4. Launch MATLAB with Different Graphics Settings: Try launching MATLAB with different graphics settings to see if it resolves the issue. You can do this by using the “-softwareopengl” flag when starting MATLAB. Open a terminal and run the following command: “matlab -softwareopengl”. This forces MATLAB to use software rendering instead of hardware acceleration.

I hope this helps!
