Gtk-Message: 02:44:30.889: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module" On Ubuntu, sudo apt install libcanberra-gtk-module. This location must be found by Matlab at runtime. If you install it and it is still not loaded, it is probably becuase its location, /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gtk-2.0/modules/libcanberra-gtk-module.so is not in the linker search path. Firstly, reboot you system. If it is still to found by the linker, you can try to symlink it as the same name in /usr/lib, which is usually included in the linker search path. You can check this default linker search path running ldconfig -v. Therefore, you can run 
      sudo apt install libcanberra-gtk-module
      cd /usr/lib
      sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gtk-2.0/modules/libcanberra-gtk-module.so libcanberra-gtk-module.so
