MATLAB crashing system (gentoo linux)

0

First let me preface this by stating that I'm pretty new to MATLAB and Linux, perhaps I'm missing something obvious, if that's the case please be patient with me.

I've been asked to help with a modeling project in my math department, so I've downloaded all the code, installed matlab on my computer, and after jumping through some hoops (had to install a library called "glu") the script itself actually runs. It gets to a point where I believe it's trying to render a plot where it crashes the system, I can't access other ttys with ctrl-alt-F(anything) and after a bit I get a blinking cursor in the top right, still unable to do anything, ctrl-alt-delete, nothing. So I hold the powerbutton down and shut down the computer.

I've found the crash dumps, and quite a few of them are just empty, some do have some info, here is "matlab_crash_dump.4121-1":

At this point I'm pretty sure its a graphics problem, I've tried opengl software rendering as well. The director of the project suggested that there could be a problem with the kernel since it's taking out my whole system, at this point he wants me to switch to a different environment so that we can just move on, though I would still like to know whats going on with gentoo here.

One thing I was thinking about was I don't have a DE, just a tiling WM (awesome 3.5), I don't know if this would cause a problem, just a thought

Here's what I'm working with:

Matlab2016a

Awesome 3.5

gentoo-4.4.6

intel 2760M

Quadro 2000M (I don't think it's using this)

20GB RAM

Along with whatever the standard drivers are for these parts

Let me know if there's anything else you need.

This problem more then likely, is caused by Matlab, attempting to use the iGPU instead of your Quadro 2000M. – Ramhound – 2016-09-19T19:33:04.637

Do you think that the system is expecting it to use the Quadro? How can I tell matlab to do that instead? I'm not actually sure but I think the default for the system is the iGPU, thought I'm not sure how to check. – uvsvdu – 2016-09-19T19:48:48.430

I am thinking Matlab is doing something the iGPU isn't compatable of actually doing. I don't know linux enough to tell you how to force Matlab to use the Quadro GPU instead. – Ramhound – 2016-09-19T19:50:44.360

I just told matlab to plot sin(x) from 0 to pi and it handled that just fine. Wondering if there's something going on with java instead. – uvsvdu – 2016-09-19T19:52:34.860

I am not sure what plotting 0 to pi proves, iGPU will be fine for some things, the script that isn't working isn't as simple I gather. – Ramhound – 2016-09-19T19:54:36.653

Oh, alright. Like I said, I'm new to this :). Is there a way to test to see if it's for sure the iGPU that's not handling it that you know of? Thanks for your help :) – uvsvdu – 2016-09-19T20:09:41.767
