I have also experienced problems with freezes of the MegaWizard. ALTPLL and ALTSQRT so far tend to stop working. For ALTPLL however, I updated to the latest linux kernel, which has some graphics fixes, and I could then make it work. For ALTSQRT it still freezes if I don't increase the size of the MegaWizard window before clicking any fields or buttons.

It seems to me that there is something not quite right with the way graphics is drawn in the MegaWizard and judging on the different bug reports related to the MegaWizard under Linux in this forum, I think that the Altera people really should look into it.

I use Linux Mint 17.2 with linux kernel 4.2.0-22-generic and Quartus 15.1.
