Quartus 11.0sp1 won't save options. Running Ubuntu 11.04 64bit.

Does anyone have trouble saving preferences in Quartus 11.0sp1 under Ubuntu?

Unless I run it with sudo, Quartus won't be able to save any options I set like Preferred Text Editor, tool paths, etc. It doesn't seem to remember any recent project info either.

Any idea?

Thanks,

V

    I have figured this out.

    I installed Quartus with sudo. So the owner of everything including the the configuration folder under my home directory became root.

    Simply taking the ownership with chown fixes everything.

    I had similar problem with Quartus II 14.1 .

    After installation permissions of ~/.altera.quartus did not allow to write into this folder. It is the folder for storing configuration.

    I've solve this problem with

    sudo chown <mu_username>:<my_groupname> ~/.altera.quartus
