OpenCL SDK on Ubuntu

Hi,

I only have access to a machine running ubuntu (and windows). Not other versions of linux available. And i prefer using ubuntu over windows. But I am having problems with the aocl driver in ubuntu. The boards works perfectly fine in windows. In ubuntu the aocl diagnose command runs successfully but the aocl flash command fails. The error says that the hardware cable is not connected. The usb blaster cable is connected and the board is listed in the output of the 'lsusb' command. So can you please tell me how to solve this driver issues?

output of aocl diagnose :

aocl diagnose: Running diagnostic from /home/johnspaul92/altera/14.1/hld/board/terasic/de5net/linux64/libexec

Verified that the kernel mode driver is installed on the host machine.
