Hi @MTett1,

I was able to workaround this issue exporting the following environmental variable:

export MTI_VCO_MODE=32

The problem seems to be that Modelsim detects that Ubuntu is a x64 OS, but the installer Modelsim Intel Starter Edition only can run in 32 bits mode.

Exporting that variable to your environment will make Modelsim to be executed in 32 bits regarding the OS architecture.

Regards
