Installing Quartus II on Ubuntu 14.0 LTS and USB Blaster problem

Hi, I intend to start Quartus as root instead of user, so do this:

open shortcut from desktop and copy launch command

then open a terminal type sudo and paste command, for my system quartus is located on /opt/altera your can be different:

sudo /opt/altera/15.0/quartus/bin/quartus --64bit

this launch quartus with root privilege so try open programmer and see if it work, if it is ok check rule otherwise tell us what happen on programmer pane and we can try fix it.

lsusb don't require root privilege and must work also for simple user.

Regards

Roberto
