  <p>I'm running matlab R2015a </p>
  
  <p>I'm on ubuntu 14.04 LTS - i5-2430M CPU @ 2.4ghz x 4 500gb ssd 64bit</p>
  
  <p>I get this error w/o running a single command. After launching matlab it spits this error out after about 30s of slowly consuming more and more resources. I can't figure this out and matlab hasn't responded to any of my posts.</p>
