Hi Shyan, I posted solution with issue, I checked waht you proposed me but it is not same library, this post is solved at my side, was just a todo remainder.

Issue appear on fresh new Ubuntu 18_04 and formerly exactly same on Linux Mint 19.1:

download library

https://sourceforge.net/projects/libpng/files/libpng12/1.2.59/

get .xz or .gz, follow screen on end of download page if in doubt.

unpack on a directory then cd to build install and link

  1. cd to where unpacked
  2. ./configure
  3. make
  4. sudo make install
  5. sudo ldconfig

After that Quartus start from icon without hassle, not sure about programmer and USB.

Regards

Roberto
