Quartus 11.0 Qsys on Ubuntu 11.04

I just wasted a bunch of time getting Qsys working on Ubuntu and hope this saves someone else some time.

I was getting an undiagnoseable failure during NIOS generation. It never occurred to me that the locale warnings spit out by perl were an actual problem. I fixed the locale issue just to clean up the error reports and then system generation worked. The command to fix the locale is:
sudo locale-gen en_US
At least it worked for me.

The other good news is that the USB Blaster worked without any fiddling. I just opened up the programmer and it was available. I almost fainted.

    Great this fixed the issue I had !

    It was working flowlesly with SOPC Builder but it seems QSys requires the locale to be set to en_US !

    Thanks !

    Also note this fix is working for any release of Ubuntu and might be working with any Linux distrib which doesn't have the en_US locale available.

    It seems like I have a similar problem on Windows.

    The QSys perl script is complaining about the locale settings and the generation fails.

    I have tried to find a similar topic for Windows, but failed, so I write here.

    I'm running Quartus 13.1 since it supports Cyclone III and Cyclone V at the same time.

    I can generate the QSys design on Linux, but not in Windows. So I believe that it is a setting like locale in Windows that is wrong.

    I have tried to set LC_ALL and LANG to en_US, en, en-US, en_US.UTF-8 etc, but none of them is recognized by perl.

    Anyone that knows how it should be configured?
