Altera's PCI-E driver for OpenCL does not officially support Ubuntu; it only supports CentOS/RedHat and windows 7/8.1/10. It is quite likely that the PCI-E driver would not work on an Ubuntu machine even if it installs correctly. Still, try this command and see if the kernel module is actually loaded: sudo lspci -v | grep -A 10 -i altera

Well, sudo lspci -v | grep -A 10 -i altera gives results:
