Re: Help with jre 21 & BNC 3.20
Great news!!!
I manage to get ibgateway AND TWS working on aarch64 with zulu17. The deb package for some reason does not include JavaFX. I had to download the tar.gz from the website. And that fixed everything.
Thanks again Richard for your work to release 3.21.0 and support zulu17
I still get this message on paper account, but I get the same on amd64

After your 3.21.0 release I tried it with aarch64.
I’m building a docker image for aarch64 that installas zulu17, Azul provides .deb packages so I’m installing the arch zulu17 deb package when the docker image is built on aarch64 architecture.
The build process works fine, however I’m hitting some issues when I run the image. Here is the log file
The issue seems to be this

Based on Zulu documentation??the package zulu17-ca-jre should install GUI components (JavaFX???). but based on the error message that’s not the case

I have just released version 3.21.0 of IBC. You can find it on GitHub at: ?
? This release provides support for TWS/Gateway 1034 running on Linux. For this release, IBKR have updated the installer so that, on Linux, TWS and Gateway use the Azul Zulu Java 17 runtime environment rather than the Oracle 8 JRE used in previous releases. ? NB: TWS/Gateway 1034 on Linux will not work with previous releases of IBC. ? If you are not running TWS/Gateway 1034 on Linux, you do not need to upgrade to this release. There are a couple of other minor changes in this release, but no harm should occur if you don't install this release on Windows. ? To do this upgrade from IBC 3.20.0 it is only necessary to extract the IBC.jar and version files to your IBC installation folder, and extract the ibccstart.sh script to your scripts subfolder. ? If you are currently using an earlier IBC version than 3.20.0, do a full install. ? [The situation with macOS is uncertain at present. It would be helpful if someone with a macOS machine could experiment with IBC 3.20.0 and TWS/Gateway 1034, and if that doesn't work try updating to IBC 3.21.0. Feed back the results via the issues register.] ? Richard ?

Re: Help with jre 21 & BNC 3.20
Thanks for the thanks, but I’d actually forgotten I’d been any help on this. ? I did get a Raspberry Pi 5 over the Christmas period, and was getting on nicely with it (though I hadn’t actually installed TWS or Gateway yet), but then I was hit by a disaster that I still haven’t fully dug my way out of. This was caused by the Windows 11 24H2 update from Microsoft. I must have read everything on the internet about this issue, but I’m still missing something fundamental. I’m sure it’s related to some security improvements made in this release, which are not interoperating correctly with my Windows Server Essentials domain controller, but Microsoft’s documentation in this area is scattered all over the place, practically incomprehensible to non-exerts, and generally frustrating beyond measure! ? So I’m hoping I’ll soon be able to get back to the Pi, and the 1034 TWS/Gateway release has been very enlightening. ? Richard

Re: tws hangs on ibc startup
here's the whole log file for reference

Re: tws hangs on ibc startup
What you’ve sent provides no useful information for this case. I can’t even tell which versions of TWS and IBC you’re running. The full logfile contains practically everything I could possibly want to know, so in future please always send the whole thing. Also don’t quote it, attach it to your post so I can easily view it in a text editor, compare it with other logs etc. ? Having said that, I suspect that you’re trying to run TWS 1034 on Linux. There is a known problem in this case, because IBKR have switched from the Oracle Java 8 Runtime Environment to the Azul Zulu Java 17 runtime, which requires some adjustments to the Java command. ? I have fixed this and will release a new version at the weekend. In the meantime, either: ? - Revert to an earlier version of TWS
? - Or do the following:
? - Open this file with a text editor:
? ~/Jts/1034/.install4j/pref_jre.cfg ? - Replace the single line that it contains with this:
? /home/<linuxusername>/.local/share/i4j_jres/Oda-jK0QgTEmVssfllLP/1.8.0_202_64 ? - This change tells it to run with the Oracle Java 8 runtime, as in previous releases.
? - Now run IBC again and it should work fine.
? Just for completeness, the Windows Installer for TWS 1034 still sets it up to run with the Oracle runtime, so no changes are needed there. ? Richard ? ? ?

To my understanding, they do NOT change the radio button from "Auto Logoff" to "Auto Restart"? . They meant for setting the time, not the radio button. Did I get it wrong?

Thank you,

Re: How to set the logoff radio button to "Auto Restart"
The notes in config.ini for these settings explain everything in some detail. ? Have you not read them? And if you have, please explain why you don’t understand them. ? Richard ? ?

I’m afraid I can’t offer any advice on how best to do encryption on Linux. ? Any solution that involves something like eCryptFS is going to involve manual intervention at some point, for example to enter a passphrase, so I don’t know whether full automation is possible. ? But you could for example add the mount command to a script in your login profile. You would then get the passphrase prompt each time you log in, and the folder would then be decrypted (so IBC can read it). That might be acceptable. ? Richard ? ?

Sorry! Figured easy enough to just cat it since short.
Thanks for the pointer, I think I know the problem, my .ini is completely marbled up when I encrypted the folder. I encrypted using:
Do you have a link for how to do the encryption properly on linux? Or like how does IBC know how to properly read the folder?
I said “Attach it to your reply – don’t just quote it.” So you’ve quoted it… ? Never mind, it’s quite short so let’s leave it like it is. ? It looks like your config.ini file contains a property value that is incorrectly encoded using Unicode escape characters, in the form /uxxxx. That should be easy enough to find and fix. ?
