Yep perhaps the best thing to do, but Centos based tool chains don’t sync up often enough so I find that I am always installing packages from source for embedded software work, and I’m not certain actually that the Quartus issues I see are Ubuntu specific.

Regardless of whether you decide to actually do any development under the Windows or Centos installation, you'll at least have another data point in your debugging :)

I notice for example, that others are having problems installing the SIV device files on 15.0. I also see the hang in the PLL mega-wizard, but that doesn’t appear to be Ubuntu specific either.

I haven't noticed this on 15.0 under Windows. I haven't run a huge number of Stratix IV designs lately, but I did re-run the Transceiver Toolkit examples
http://www.alteraforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=48694 which at least implies I have the device files installed correctly.
The key aspect of my suggestion to install Quartus under a "recommended" operating system is that if it works ok, then you know the issue is Ubuntu. If you see the same issue, then you can file a Service Request without having to mention Ubuntu.
