I am trying to run code in Matlab that uses the Psychtoolbox and OpenGL. The commands that throw the error described below are:
PsychJavaTrouble
AssertOpenGL
Here are my specs:
OS: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, 64bit
Processor: Intel Core i5-2450M CPT @ 2.50GHz x 4
Graphics: Intel Sandybridge Mobile
Matlab Version: Matlab 64-Bit (Version 3.0.11 - Build date: Apr 6 2014)
Psychophysics version installed: 3
Installation methodology:
1. sudo apt-get install psychtoolbox in Terminal
2. updated it via UpdatePsychToolbox command in Matlab console
Here is the error message:
PsychJavaTrouble: Will now try to add the PsychJava folder to Matlabs dynamic
classpath...

----- ! PTB - ERROR: SYNCHRONIZATION FAILURE ! ----
One or more internal checks (see Warnings above) indicate that synchronization
of Psychtoolbox to the vertical retrace (VBL) is not working on your setup.
This will seriously impair proper stimulus presentation and stimulus presentation
timing!
Please read 'help SyncTrouble' for information about how to solve or work-around the
problem.
You can force Psychtoolbox to continue, despite the severe problems, by adding the
command
Screen('Preference', 'SkipSyncTests', 1); at the top of your script, if you really
know what you are doing.
Error using Screen

What am I missing? A package? Is my hardware not okay? I can't figure this error out.
