CCS/TMDX5515EZDSP: CCS 7.1 installation hangs without GUI on Ubuntu 16.04, no documentation anywhere

Part Number: TMDX5515EZDSP

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Support Path:/Tools & software/Help me with an issue/Embedded Product Development Tools/Code Composer Studio/CCS Desktop IDE/Other issues/

I have downloaded the web installer for CCS 7.1 and extracted the .bin file, but when I try to run it from a terminal nothing happens - no GUI appears, no error messages or other text, nothing. It doesn't matter whether I run it as root using "sudo" or "sudo -E", or as a normal user.

I access the internet through a proxy, managed by cntlm running on my local machine. So the proxy is just "http://localhost:4321" (cntlm manages the authentication). This is exported in environment variables "http_proxy", "HTTP_PROXY", "https_proxy" and "HTTPS_PROXY" as both root and user.

I tried checking the wiki, but there is no section for CCS 7.1! I tried installing the dependencies listed for CCS 6, including libgcrypt11, but it still refuses to install.

Running it under strace shows a lot of activity, but eventually just the following message repeats over and over:

futex(0x18f1250, FUTEX_WAKE_PRIVATE, 1) = 0
read(9, 0x588c948, 4096)                = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable)
select(0, NULL, NULL, NULL, {0, 199000}) = 0 (Timeout)
write(4, "\0", 1)                       = 1
futex(0x1b2d204, FUTEX_WAIT_PRIVATE, 47, NULL) = 0
futex(0x18f1250, FUTEX_WAKE_PRIVATE, 1) = 0
read(9, 0x588c948, 4096)                = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable)
select(0, NULL, NULL, NULL, {0, 200000}) = 0 (Timeout)
write(4, "\0", 1)                       = 1
futex(0x18f1250, FUTEX_WAKE_PRIVATE, 1) = 1
futex(0x1b2d200, FUTEX_WAKE_PRIVATE, 1) = 1
futex(0x1b2d204, FUTEX_WAIT_PRIVATE, 49, NULL) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable)
futex(0x18f1250, FUTEX_WAKE_PRIVATE, 1) = 0
read(9, 0x588c948, 4096)                = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable)

This is under Ubuntu 16.04 amd64. java -version gives:
