For the possible interest of users of MATLAB, I have just posted a message, in the Linux Mint Forums, reporting the solution to a problem I recently encountered.
The problem was that MATLAB, which had been running satisfactorily in Linux Mint 17.3, crashed when I first tried to open MATLAB after installing the beta of Linux Mint 18 Cinnamon. The problem was first reported to MATLAB as having arisen from a file in Kubuntu 15.04, which file was presumably in Ubuntu 15.04, as well as in Ubuntu 16.04, which is the basis of LM 18.
The solution is reported in this thread.
