Hello. When i'm running Quartus Prime Lite in sudo mode i see nothing but blank screen. I'm running Quartus with sudo because without it Quartus stucks when generates any IP.I tried 17.1 and 18.1 Quartus versions with the same result. I didn't have that problem on Ubuntu 16.

as mention, from my side, I just dont use the su. I also face stuck issue when try to edit the megawizard. It was resolve by https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/programmable/support/support-resources/knowledge-base/tools/2018/why-does-the-megawizard-got-hang-.html

I checked all libraries and it is all good. I actually can run Quartus normally. But with sudo i got this problems. Maybe there is something wrong with environmental variables?

Can u check on your environment variable before and after su command? Perhaps after the su command, there are some environment change. I will check on my side as well. I will check again whenever the IP instances created , it got stuck or not.

I've checked environment variables and they are different. Also in normal mode i have much more variables than under sudo. I tried to copy some of them but with no success.

  This doesn't work for me, unfortunately. My Quartus stucks at any try to edit or create PLL, FIFO, etc. Running without sudo is not an option.

  Previously you typed that you was able to see the same thing. How did you resolve it?
