Hi Tanaphon,

I understand that you are getting some messages in the terminal when trying to launch the MATLAB R2020b version on Linux.

The messages that appear in the terminal when starting MATLAB are informational and have no effect on MATLAB.

To supress the messages related to ‘canberra-gtk-module’, run the following commands in a Linux terminal:

• Install the required package for ‘canberra-gtk-module’ using the following command:

        apt-get install libcanberra-gtk-module

• Set the GTK_PATH using the following command:

If your login shell is ‘bash’:

        export GTK_PATH=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gtk-2.0

If your linux shell is ‘tcsh’:

        setenv GTK_PATH /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gtk-2.0

• Open MATLAB using the below command:

        ./matlab

For more information on the above-mentioned commands, refer to the following documentation:

Hope this helps!
