I was recently having a strange issue with my MATLAB install (R2008b, on Ubuntu 10.04), where the cursor in the text editor was painfully slow.
I tried installing the Oracle Java 8 JRE and setting the MATLAB_JAVA environment variable to use it. This seemed to fix the slow cursor problem, only to kill all plot functions. For example, when I tried running plot( 0:10, 0:10 ), the plot window shows up, with the menus and toolbars intact, but the rest of the window is garbled. Specifically, the rest of the figure window is a replica of whatever was already displayed on the screen (kind of a Rene Magritte painting).
I did try reinstalling the nvidia drivers (and even removing and using the nouveau drivers), but no luck. I also tried oracle jre 8, but to no avail. I finally had to fall back to the in-built MATLAB jvm, with the painfully slow text editor.
I also tried running it with different kernel versions, but no luck. Whatever it is, has anyone else encountered an issue with the oracle JRE in this regard?![]()
