Hi JCW and Nopeople

I had a lot of trouble installing this and (Ubuntu 15.10 and 16.04, not yet tried 17.X) moved very quickly from the X11 graphical installer to the "unattended mode". I made a single download-unpack-install-setenvs script, the meat of which is 

    VER=17.1.0.590
    DIR=~/altera/17.1
    $DOWNDIR/unpack.$VER/components/QuartusLiteSetup-$VER-linux.run 
        --mode unattended 
        --unattendedmodeui none 
        --installdir $DIR 
        --accept_eula 1
    $DOWNDIR/SoCEDSSetup-$VER-linux.run 
        --mode unattended 
        --unattendedmodeui none 
        --installdir $DIR 
        --accept_eula 1

If you're comfortable with command line you could try those, perhaps it bypasses the problems you're having.

Let us know how you get on.

Kind regards,

Jonathan.

No, the Unattended mode by a script doesn't solve the problem.

The installation got stuck in every component.
