Error message during activation for Matlab R2013a in Ubuntu in Virtual Box.

6 views (last 30 days)
Hi,
I would like to install Matlab R2013a in Ubuntu 20.04 in Virtual Box. Host was a Mac Catelina.
I received the following message during activation. Error 1,714: Unable to activate your machine. The activation process cannot detect a valid Host ID which utilizes a currently supported naming convention. Please refer to the following solution ID, to help resolve this issue: 1-661QJD
I have followed the solution from the support team ( https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/100235-why-can-t-i-activate-matlab-or-start-the-network-license-manager-in-a-newer-linux-environment ) but could not find the udev rule 70-persistent-net.rules.
Any other advice would be appreacaited.
Steve

I have sucessfully activated following the solution from this post (https://www.itzgeek.com/how-tos/mini-howtos/change-default-network-name-ens33-to-old-eth0-on-ubuntu-16-04.html)
$ sudo nano /etc/default/grub
Change GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="" --> GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="net.ifnames=0 biosdevname=0"
Generate a new grub file using the following command.
$ sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
%%%%%%%%%%%%
I have also installed the missing libncurses.so.5 (error while loading shared libraries: libncurses.so.5:)
$ sudo apt-get install libncurses5
