VMware Virtual Machine 32-bit Ubuntu installation matlab_r2012a problem note

Recently due to the needs of the school curriculum, so on Ubuntu churn a bit of MATLAB, experience twists and turns, record, hope to let everybody less jump point pit. Start by sharing a valid download link:

There are other versions of ISO, picking in the http://www.matlab.org.cn/Download/UploadFiles_3744/201204/Matlab_R2012a_Unix.rar home directory.

One, the first step mount (mount) direct error, errors are shown as follows:

"Mount:you must specify the filesystem type": The error message says you have to specify an exact file system, but my instructions are with the-t parameter, not just auto error, but many other file formats (ext3, EXT4, etc.) are all reported as errors. Google is almost all about mounting a new disk before this error occurs, all of which tell you that you need to format the partition, which is obviously not helpful for my problem. For newer Linux systems, it is generally possible to mount the ISO image directly with the-o loop instruction, but I can't do this Ubuntu14.04.

Did a night and no yarn progress, had to switch ideas, in the VMware related community to see the post found that VMware can help you directly mount the ISO, I am really happy to buy. Click: Settings on the virtual machine, and then follow the diagram: ① click on the CD/DVD bar ② Check the "Connected" ③ in the device status to add the ISO image you downloaded.

Second, installation and activation of the tutorial online a large pile, here do not repeat. After the installation is complete, go to the Bin folder in the installation directory, sudo./matlab can open Matlab, at this time terminal may prompt:

"/usr/local/matlab/r2012a/bin/util/oscheck.sh:/lib/libc.so.6:not found", the workaround is to enter the following instruction to add a library dependency:

　　$ sudo ln-s/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libc.so.6/lib/libc.so.6

Third, the new generation of MATLAB, and met the whole screen of the red Warning: "The desktop configuration is not saved successfully"; The crux of the problem is Permission Denied. so the solution is to add permissions to directories and files:$ sudo chmod a+w-r ~/.matlab
