Ok, here's a really ugly and large hack that seems (for me anyways) to get Matlab back to where it was before Hardy.
Basically, I took the libX11.so (and related) files from a different machine that didn't have a libxcb-backed libX11: scp fedora3machine:/usr/X11R6/lib64/lib*.so.? /opt/oldX11lib Then I placed this new set of X11 libs in my load path: export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/oldX11lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH Then I ran Matlab with great success, even over TCP. Note, make sure you use the proper (32-bit or 64-bit) libraries for you machine/application. This hack is at best temporary to get you going. Ideally, the libX11-xcb library should emulate all the issues of the old libX11 for older apps, or it should be removed and let the old libX11 continue to serve those applications. Frameworks and applications can then migrate to libxcb at their own pace. -- hardy, locking assertion failure, xorg/libsdl https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/185311 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
