I have been using MATLAB2014b on Ubuntu 15.10 without any issue until the recent Ubuntu update. After the patch, MATLAB crashes after the splash screen. (See the error report below.) I wonder if there is anything in my system causing the trouble?
I have tried removing and reinstalling MATLAB, and removing the .matlab directory but the problem still persists.
(Note: Command line mode using ‘-nodesktop’ option doesn’t seem to be affected by this issue.)

Description
When using Ubuntu Linux distributions 15.04 and newer, as well as distributions derived from those versions, MATLAB can crash during startup.
This crash occurs because these releases include a newer version of libstdc++.so.6 than the version shipped with MATLAB (version 6.0.17). When MATLAB loads version 6.0.17 first, the OS reaches an incompatibility that causes MATLAB to crash.
Workaround
You can force MATLAB to load the newer version of the library provided by the operating system, by following these instructions:
Identify the location where MATLAB is installed
Navigate to the sys/os/glnxa64 directory within this installation folder
Rename libstdc++.so.6 library to libstdc++.so.6.old
