I have just installed thinkorswim trading software on my extra laptop, but when I try to run it, it just hangs after the login screen.
On the first install, and first run, a popup window said that javafx was not installed with the openjdk that I have on the laptop, and I needed to either install javafx separately and add it to the classpath (not sure what that means), or install a separate java runtime environment. So I went to Oracle's website and downloaded jre-8u5-linux-x64.rpm. I installed this, following the SDB guide from this link:
http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Installing_Java.
Here is what I did, from my history file:
After that, I no longer had the javafx problem and was able to reach the login screen. However, when I ran it, after entering login credentials, it just hung up. What I mean by that is that the login screen stayed there and nothing happened, for hours. I tried running the program from the command line, and here is what I get:
So it never does anything, just sits there. No indications on what might be the problem.
I am running this program on another computer, and it runs fine. That computer had a different version of jre, so I downgraded on my laptop to that version: jre-7u51-linux-x64.rpm.
Nevertheless, it still does the same way, and just hangs.
I don't know enough about java to figure out what to do from here. TDAmeritrade says it doesn't support Linux, and there isn't anything I can do about that. So I think this forum is my only hope.
My laptop is running opensuse 13.1, KDE 4.11.
any ideas?
G.O.
