Hello, I am experiencing problems with matlab on my workstation. As far I understand it is related to the interaction with the nvidia drivers and oepngl libraries.
System description
Drivers: 367.57
OS: Debian 8.6 jessie.
Problem Description Whenever I run matlab I get the following warning
com.jogamp.opengl.GLException: X11GLXDrawableFactory - Could not initialize shared resources for X11GraphicsDevice[type .x11, connection :0.0, unitID 0, handle 0x0, owner false, ResourceToolkitLock[obj 0x538d5506, isOwner false, <63c927c4, 2b51e80a>[count 0, qsz 0, owner <NULL>]]]

The command opengl info is completely empty
Version: ''
Vendor: ''
Renderer: 'None'
RendererDriverVersion: ''
RendererDriverReleaseDate: ''
MaxTextureSize: 0
Visual: ''
Software: 1
HardwareSupportLevel: 'none'
SupportsGraphicsSmoothing: 0
SupportsDepthPeelTransparency: 0
SupportsAlignVertexCenters: 0
Extensions: {}
MaxFrameBufferSize: 0
As a result, the plots look weird and the legend do not match the plot.
I have tried to use -softwareopengl as an option, but the only effect I obtain is that the message is hidden, but the figures are not displayed correctly.

I met the same problem. Miroslav Flídr's method and Walter Roberson's comment works for me. Thanks for your kind help!

I have similar issue running Debian GNU/Linux 8.8 (jessie) and vanilla kernel 4.4.70 with R2017a. NVidia driver installed as follows:
sudo NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-375.39.run --no-glvnd-egl-client --no-glvnd-glx-client
then lunch matlab:
$ ~/MATLAB/R2017a/bin/matlab MATLAB is selecting SOFTWARE OPENGL rendering. Bus error
Any ideas?

Update:
Some shared libraries under "~/MATLAB/R2017a/bin/glnxa64/" were corrupted i.e. "libmwvvir.so". After reinstallation MATLAB works.
