Segmentation violation detected - matlab

Question

I get the error Segmentation violation detected in Matlab 7.12.0.635 (R2011a) (on Ubuntu 12.10) whenever I try to save a figure as jpg or png. I can save a figure as .fig, though...

What can I do to fix this problem? Have you encountered this problem?

No. I'm on a single monitor. – Tegucigalpa

Are you using print or saveas or clicking with the mouse on File > Save as...? – Hussar

I am using Save As. I only got this error now. I've used Save as two weeks ago on the same computer... – Tegucigalpa

weird...did any updates recently? – Hussar

What does print('filename', '-djpeg', '-zbuffer') do? – Hussar

Looks like it saves the figure as jpg. At least now I can save it. I wonder what's the problem with the GUI method? – Tegucigalpa

Looks like a problem with the default figure renderer. What's get(gcf, 'renderer') say? OpenGl? – Hussar

Can you post the complete crash dump? – Hussar

Answer 1

Solved by changing the default renderer to zbuffer. Add this line to the startup.m file:

set(0, 'DefaultFigureRenderer', 'zbuffer');

Answer 2

I resolved this issue by installing matlab-support package,

 sudo apt-get install matlab-support

I believe you mean "sudo apt-get install matlab-support", but yeah, it appears as if that fixed the issue for me too. – Gunter

Yeap, If you like edit my solution. I will approve it. – Pappano
