Matlab R2019b freezes during startup on Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS

Hi all,

I recently downloaded and installed my student version of Matlab R2019b on my notebook (ASUS Vivobook, Ryzen 5, 16 Gb ram).

I'm actually running it on Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS.

Unfortunately my computer freezes when I try to start Matlab and I'm not able to perform any other action exept for the hard reboot (I can't kill any process and even my mouse is not working anymore!).

I searched quite a lot around but I can't figure out how to make this work properly, can anyone help me out?

Thanks in advance.

Same issue on an ASUS X505Z with Ubuntu 20.04 (and 18.04) Ryzen 5 2500u.

I have heard of issues with ryzen CPU's but updating the BIOS and kernel parameters have not solved the issue.
