when run Matlab 2024b in linux. I get message "render process terminated: TS_PROCESS_CRASHED"

When running Matlab 2024b version in linux, I get message "render process terminated: TS_PROCESS_CRASHED".

Is there issue with this message?

Is there a fix for this?

What was MATLAB doing when this message appeared? My guess is that you were trying to plot data, perhaps a large amount of data. Is that correct?

I haven't do anything yet, just opened Matlab, and I got that message.

I am running 2024b Update 4 on macOS Version 15.3 Build 24D60.

I am getting this error when I am foolishly trying to add a title with 800+ characters to a figure running in an XML file.

I don't get the same error if I create the figure from the command line. Of course, in the figure window, I only see a tiny part of the title, but it doesn't crash.

For me the fix for this is obvious - I have to shorten the title (the 800+ characters was because the data being plotted were assembled in a do loop).

FWIW I have never seen this error before.

Hi Frank,

The "TS_PROCESS_CRASHED" message is usually displayed when the process has run out of memory.

I had faced a similar issue before. Uninstalling and reinstalling MATLAB fixed it for me.

It is possible to check the memory usage of the system while MATLAB is running by running ‘top’ command in a Terminal window. If you see other processes taking up a lot of memory, you might want to consider closing them as this might give the MATLAB process more memory.

If these steps could not resolve the issue, I would recommend contacting the MathWorks Technical Support through this link:
