    what distro are you using? in the past this seemed to be caused by dash vs bash on Ubuntu

    That screenshot is way too compressed to recognise anything relevant. Either provide a higher resolution screenshot, or copy-paste the error messages into the posting.

    I can't edit megafunctions. I can open alt_gx but I can't change any value. All field is not active.

    And I can't open pcie vizard at all. I'm click at epmap entry and nothing happening.

    Start quartus from a terminal window and look if it dumps a bunch of error messages when you start the Megafunction Wizard. It seems to be designed in Java, and on some cases I've seen useful debug traces on the console after it crashes/fails.

    Recently it failed for me using the LVDS wizard (Quartus 10 on Linux) and in the debug log I could see that it crashed because it expected a , instead of a . in some date or something.. really stupid bug.

    The megawizard issue may simply be related to the fact that you were unable to Install device files. So, you should try to manually install the QDA device packages.

    To do this,

    1.- Go to the directory where the installer source files are. From the log file you attached, it seems to be:

    /mnt/sda3/temp/10.1_quartus_free_linux/altera_installer/bin/../../devices/subscription/

    2.- For every QDA file that you see in the folder (except from arriagx.qda that seem to have worked), do

    quartus_sh --qinstall -qda <qda file>

    Example

    quartus_sh --qinstall -qda arriaii.qda

    Then see if that fixes the problem.

    quartus_sh --qinstall is ok. But quartus is not worked. I'm still on 9.1
