I have follow the instructions listed in the forum as well as the thinkorswim website. I can get all the way to the launch point for showing the desktop and it won't show I just get a black screen and it freezes on showing desktop. I think it has to do with one either the java I am running or so have said I need to get the thinkorswim tech support to disable the splash start up screen.

I had a similar problem under Fedora and Gnome Shell. The main Thinkorswim window didn't show up, and looking at top, Java and Xorg used up all CPU.

I managed to properly run Thinkorswim after switching to Openbox as a window manager. My guess is that any non-compositing window manager will do.

Having a similar issue, I approached the thinkorswim tech support and received these instructions which worked for me: Linux java 7 and tos install instructions

Before installing think or swim you will need to install Oracle Java 7. One way to install it by adding the Webd8 PPA.

http://www.webupd8.org/2012/01/install-oracle-java-jdk-7-in-ubuntu-via.html

First:

  1. First Install WEBUPD8

    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java

  2. Run the next command

    sudo apt-get update

  3. Run this command to install java

    sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-installer

    Download Think or Swim

    You will need to download think or swim Linux version from the link below.
