Answer 1

[mark wilson]

My matlab account is attached to my local user however when installing update the permission to write into /usr/local/MATLAB/R2019b is not grated becuse that directory is owned by root. To fix I was going to temporarily change ownership to my user. The output I posed above was right after the chown switch. At this point matlab was broken. However I have found the answer which allows me to keep the original root ownership and run the installer. I can run the update_installer as super user becasue it bypasses the license manager:

sudo /usr/local/MATLAB/R2019b/bin/glnxa64/update_installer

All fixed!

I got my laptop reinstall MATLAB by my faculty IT department a week ago, but thank you for the helpful answer anyway !
