I was facing the same issue and did the following trick and it worked. I first installed Furius ISO Mount from Ubuntu Store. Then I mounted the DVD 1 iso file and started the installation. When the prompt asking for DVD 2 popped up, I unmounted DVD 1 from Furius. Then I renamed the DVD 2 iso identical to DVD 1 and mounted it with Furius. On pressing Ok at the install prompt, the installation resumed and worked perfectly.

This doesn't work. Furius won't let you unmount the iso because it's obviously busy – Rubi Shnol Apr 19 '20 at 09:41

I had the same issue and the mistake was that I didn't copy the hidden .dvd2 file.

My steps to install:

Extract R2016b_glnxa64_dvd1.iso to install-1
Extract R2016b_glnxa64_dvd2.iso to install-2
Copy all files from install-2 to install-1 (merging), including the hidden file .dvd2
Call the install script inside of install-1

sudo mkdir /iso
mount -o loop R2016b_glnxa64_dvd1.iso /iso
cd /iso & ./install start install Matlab R2016b
when you recieve the notice "Eject DVD1 and Insert DVD2", follows now
umount /iso, maybe you will get the "device busy" notice, you can solve the problem by http://desert.blog.51cto.com/779694/172862
then, we execute mount -o loop R2016b_glnxa64_dvd2.iso /iso
Click the "Eject DVD1 and Insert DVD2" OK button, the installation will be continue.

I had the same problem, and in my case the reason was, that both virtual disks were automatically mounted with different drive letters. I modified the drive letter of the second DVD to be identical to the first one, and the installation automatically continued.

Extract iso files, and run installation from dvd1 directory:

sudo R2017a_glnxa64_dvd1/install

When you see the notice ("Eject DVD 1 and Insert DVD 2"),

rm -rf R2017a_glnxa64_dvd1/
mv R2017a_glnxa64_dvd2/ R2017a_glnxa64_dvd1/

Then, click OK. Installation will be continue.
