Running Quartus 18 on Ubuntu 16 LTS

I had the same problem and tried all suggested solutions and nothing worked. Later I realized I also was not able to see the help because the web browser never launched. The solution to that problem also happens to remove the problem with the hanging MegaWizard.

Quartus is installed with its own program libraries. Starting quarts from the command line I could see that some functions was reporting missing when trying to launch the browser from Qaurtus. Removing the libraries with problems from the installatin directory and replacing them with symbolic links to the libraries installed by Ubuntu took care of these problem.
