Problems with graphics card

So just installed MATLAB with my students license on linux mint 18.3.

And when i boot up the program i get this output on matlab's console.

com.jogamp.opengl.GLException: X11GLXDrawableFactory - Could not initialize shared resources for X11GraphicsDevice[type .x11, connection :0, unitID 0, handle 0x0, owner false, ResourceToolkitLock[obj 0x6c0490a8, isOwner false, <3ccc34ab, 372227ee>[count 0, qsz 0, owner <NULL>]]]

So i can infer its having issues with my graphics card, my drivers are up to date so i don't really know what may be the source of the problem.

Code seems to be working just fine, but plotting gives no outcome and another error.

My graphics card is an integrated AMD APU.

AMD A6-7310 APU with AMD Radeon R4

I've also ran matlab on a windows partition on the same computer and i had no issues there.
