I support my father who is 900 miles away. Since it became unrealistic to clean his windows machine of numerous spyware and sales toolbars, I gave him 14.04 LTS.
All has been wonderful. Calls are now limited to "How do I print this damn thing again?" That being said, now his trading platform will not run. Tech support have not helped.
Before they offered the Linux version on their site, I was able successfully to get it running under wine. We eventually changed over to their Linux file and all was good.
Recently they updated their platform since Oracle 7 is no longer being supported and you have to move to Oracle 8.
Problem: Thinkorswim will no longer run. Initially it cannot connect to its server to update its version. So far I have:
- Installed Oracle 8 (32 bit then 64 bit) manually, and through the gui
- Uninstalled and reinstalled the Thinkorswim package (manually and through the gui)
- Unistalled Thinkorswim and installed the Windows version under wine.
Now the Thinkorswim platform updates, but it will not launch. I get the following:
No JVM could be found on your system. Please define EXEJ-JAVA-HoME to point the the installed 32 bit JDK or JRE.
I tried installing java manually using the windows version through wine (as per a suggestion on Ubuntu Forums) and that won't launch either.
Can you guys give me some suggestions?
