I’m having a strange issue with the Thinkorswim trading platform (Schwab) on Fedora 41 Silverblue.
For several years, when the platform was owned by TDAmeritrade, I had it running in a toolbox with java installed. It got a little bit quirky sometimes but never had any major problems with it.
Since TDA was bought out by Schwab, I can’t get the program running. I’ve tried using Zulu Java 11 and 17 and OpenJDK 11 and 17 from the Fedora repositories. I’ve also tried (based on advice found in other places) using v11 to install and v17 to run it.
I have managed to get everything to install, and the program will launch, but for some reason there are no login fields, so I obviously can’t log in. Has anyone else seen this? I’m totally stumped and would really like to get this up and running again. It’s a huge problem not being able to get into it without going on the web or booting windows.
Here is a screenshot for reference. I can switch between the live and paper tabs, open the settings, change and save settings. Just can’t get the login fields to come up.
What means “trading platform”? Is this a webapp in the browser? I dont use such software but it mostly is web-based afaik.
In that case, apart from linux being detected by websites on a normally configured firefox or chromium, this is unrelated to fedora or atomic fedora (silverblue etc).
Okay so it is some kind of local program. First, try to make the webapp work, this would be easiest. Poorly only on chromium, but there you could also easily use it as a webapp.
Apart from that, please give like all the details of what this is, how you installed it, how we could test it, etc.
You could also create an Ubuntu, Debian or Almalinux Distrobox or toolbox and install it there. This might be some dependency on an outdated version of Java.
