Is it possible to run MATLAB on one Ubuntu machine with no GUI, but then to control it via the MATLAB GUI on a different machine on the network?

Depends what you mean by "control", and how much effort you are willing
to put into it.

Matlab can communicate with other Matlab sessions using UDP (but not
TCP); you could encode commands and send them over the network to the
server system.


For your purposes, would it perhaps suffice to

ssh -X Server_System_Name matlab -r "SomeProgram;quit"

to run matlab on the server system but display the results to the client?
