Impossible to install the latest version of Matlab Connector on a Linux computer

I have installed the latest version of 2025b on a Linux system with Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS.

It is not possible to install the Matlab connector (2025.11.0.2). The process is terminated and the following error is thrown:

• Gtk-Message: 11:08:08.425: Failed to load module "gail"
• Gtk-Message: 11:08:08.425: Failed to load module "atk-bridge"

I have never had any issues with the Connector whatsoever in the past. Following suggestions from the helpdesk, I did several things already: installing from a different folder, bypassing the firewall, disabling the router, install but not as superuser, fresh Matlab install, etc. It seems the installer completes extraction but fails to start services.

I am very much dependent on the Connector and it is very frustrating that 2025b & Connector do not work out-of-the-box. Furthermore, the process of troubleshooting has become beyond my expertise. What steps can I take to make it work? Is there a way to generate a log or something that can be used to understand the issue?
