starting matlab after intall on linux

Iam using Debian. I just installed matlab 2026a. It seemed that everything was fine during installation.

When I try to start matlab, I see a flu window. In front of that window I see a blue small page writing MATLAB. It does not go away and I cannot use matlab. How can I solve this?

'Debian' without the version number is a bit ambiguous.

See: MATLAB R2026a System Requirements for Linux to be certain you have a supported version.

Otherwise, you will most likely need to Contact Support for this problem.

Include the URL of this thread in your note to MathWorks so you don't have to repeat everything you wrote here.

Thank you for the answer. I solved the problem inside matlab.

I entered matlab without the GUI. I changed the DisplayScaleFactor from 1 to 2. The problem solved.

I didn't have such a problem earlier. I still don't know the reason of this problem.

As always, my pleasure!

I am happy that you solved it, and thank you for posting your solution here.

I just open a Terminal window with CTRL+ALT+t and then type matlab in that window. (Ubuntu 24.04)
