11 years agoHello,
Sorry for the late reply. I was (in fact, I am) too busy these days and Gmail marked the altera forum notification as spam. kennyboy2020, the latest edition did not work in my system. ah_zhi02, I just read the .rpt but did not have too much additional information that I could understand. Here is the report:

I did installed Modelsim but here in Linux enviroment but it did not created shortcuts in desktop nor in menus, so I thought its initialization was by Quartus. bfkstimchan: I tried to start Modelsim indenpedently (as stated above) but I did not have sucess. Any way, I gave up (at least for a while) in using Altera products in Linux Mint and installed in Windows 7 and I did not found the same problems. If anybody here currently uses Altera products in Linux (especially Mint) I would be happy to know how he/she succeed in the task (for instance, how to start Modelsim independently outside Quartus without shortcuts). I thank the help received.
