Installing Quartus on Linux

hi,

Looks like I am talking to myself a little on this thread.

Well, I've made some progress but I am not there yet. I found your excellent post, dalon, at:

Looks like mounting the drive made the difference. Now it recognizes the cables but does not give me permission. It says:

USB_Blaster [USB 4-1.1]

Unable to lock chain (Insufficient port permissions)

I have followed the Altera usb blaster instructions for linux that tell you to edit

/etc/hotplug/usb.usermap. However I am using Ubuntu Gutsy and they have a different system. They expect you to use libmtp.sh. At any rate, I tried creating a usbblaster shell file to no avail.

Need help at this point. Anyone?
