HOWTO: Setting up the USB blaster on Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope)

I am using Tristan's original directions since I am running Quartus 9.0sp2. This has been working fine until a recent package upgrade on Debian wheezy (probably initscripts) which seemed to replace mountdevsubfs.sh. Now when using the original directions I get,

--- Quote Start ---

[NiosII EDS]$ sudo /etc/init.d/mountdevsubfs.sh start

Filesystem types '' and '/dev/bus/usb/.usbfs' are not supported. Skipping mount.

--- Quote End ---

Apparently the domount function has changed how it's called. I was able to get the jtag working again by changing the domount line to,

--- Quote Start ---

domount "mount" usbfs usbfs /dev/bus/usb/.usbfs usbfs -obusmode=0700,devmode=0600,listmode=0644
