I have installed MATLAB 2022b on my LInux Mint 21.1. My laptop is an Acer Swift 3 with an Nvidia MX250 dedicated gpu. I have installed the drivers for the gpu, namely the nvidia-driver-525 and nvidia-utils-525 package.
The Nvidia X Server Settings seems to work and the Prime Profile is set to NVIDIA (Performance Mode). The problem is when I am trying to load a video (.mp4 and .mov) in different frames, but when I ran the code I get this error in the console:
Main Error using VideoReader/initReader Could not read file due to an unexpected error. Reason: Unable to initialize the video properties
Error in audiovideo.internal.IVideoReader (line 136) initReader(obj, fileName, currentTime);
Error in VideoReader (line 104) obj@audiovideo.internal.IVideoReader(varargin{:});
Error in load_picture (line 2) vid = VideoReader(obj);
Error in Main (line 12) [vid, yval, t, nulv]=load_picture(obj);
When I was trying to run the code reading the video, I was getting this errors in the terminal session I opened MATLAB with:
(MATLAB:4591): GStreamer-WARNING **: 10:55:45.878: Failed to load plugin '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gstreamer-1.0/libgstlibav.so': /home/malina/MATLAB/bin/glnxa64/../../sys/os/glnxa64/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.29' not found (required by /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/librubberband.so.2)
(MATLAB:4591): GStreamer-Base-CRITICAL **: 10:55:45.909: basetransform: second attempt to fixate caps returned invalid (NULL) caps on pad vaapipostproc0:sink
I moved the libstdc++.so.6 from the MATLAB/sys/os folder to an unused folder, I have read that by doing this matlab will be forced to use the systems libstdc++.so.6 package, the version coming with the install being known to cause problems as stated by some forums. Doing that resulted in the same error from the console while running the code, but there is no more output from the terminal session.
The problem might be driver specific, but I am unsure. I have installed the codecs and libgstreamer1.0 packages, but I do not know how to test if they are the correct version for matlab. I can open the files on my system normally, so the codecs shouldn't be the problems.
Can anyone guide me through solving this issue? I'd be really grateful. Let me know if you want any other info that might be useful and if there are any log files created by matlab that could be useful in solving this issue, please let me know where I can find them.
