Help required for Quartus under Linux

Hi all

I've been struggling for a while to get Quartus working under Ubuntu 8.04. I have tried several versions and followed the various instructions that I have found.

So far I have installed 7.0, 7.2 and 8.0. They have all installed without error.

What works:

1. I can start jtagd.

2. I can run jtagconfig and it correctly reports USB-Blaster and the two boards I have on the chain with EP2C8 and EP3C25 devices on them.
   root@bob-desktop:/opt/altera7.2/quartus/bin# ./jtagconfig
   1) USB-Blaster
3. I can also run 'quartus_pgm -l' and quartus_pgm -c 'USB-Blaster -a' which both correctly report.

4. Version 8.0 brings up Quartus GUI

What does not work:

1. Version 7.0 and 7.2 hang when trying to bring up the Quartus GUI without showing anything (I can live without the GUI at the moment).

2. When trying to program with 'quartus_pgm -c USB_Blaster xxx.chf' it gets as far as this:
   Info: Using programming cable "USB-Blaster

Here is my .chf file. I built this using the GUI under XP (same hardware).

/* Quartus II Version 9.0 Build 235 06/17/2009 Service Pack 2 SJ Full Version */ 
JedecChain; 
    FileRevision(JESD32A); 
    DefaultMfr(6E); 
 
    P ActionCode(Cfg) 
        Device PartName(EP2C8) Path("/home/bob/dev/projects/acorn-sdr/ozy/") File("Penelope_V1.1.jic") MfrSpec(OpMask(1) SEC_Device(EPCS4) Child_OpMask(1 1)); 
    P ActionCode(Ign) 
        Device PartName(EP3C25) MfrSpec(OpMask(0)); 
 
ChainEnd; 
 
AlteraBegin; 
    ChainType(JTAG); 
AlteraEnd;

Any help getting this to work would be much appreciated.

PS Some extra information. I set up the Linux end as a remote jtag server and connected to it from an XP VM which was running the Quartus GUI. It was able to find the devices. I added a file and attempted to program and the same thing happened, the GUI hung and the jtag daemon exited.

Thanks

Bob
