I have quartus ii 32bit v 12.1 on ubuntu 12.04. I followed Tristians directions and created the following /etc/udev/rules.d/51-usbblaster.rules with the following lines and both my de2 and bemicro work:

I do have a problem with sopc_builder starting, but I'm going to fire off separate thread for that question.

hope this helps and thanks for the suggestions...
