altpll megawizard hangs under Linux

I've recently installed Quartus 10.0 on a system running Ubuntu Linux. Most functions are working fine, but I've noticed that the ALTPLL megawizard hangs if you attempt to move to the next page when entering data.

Has anyone else noticed this problem? I'm not sure if this is something specific to my Ubuntu setup or a general problem for anyone using Quartus under Linux.

I've tried running the megawizard both from the SOPC builder interface and also from the megawizard plugin manager with the same results.

    Yes, a chroot environment or dual boot is probably a better option than a VM if you're low on physical memory. BTW, the suggested memory requirements for the more recent families are more than 4GB RAM. Cyclone V is listed from 6-8GB, Arria 10 is 28-48GB.

    Yeah, for sure. I'm actually building a project with the Max 10 series of self-configuring parts that are meant to be CPLD replacements so I am squeaking by without replacing my box (the motherboard is maxed out at 4GB).
