Quartus (13 or 12) on Ubuntu 13.04 64 bits - device go constantly offline

Hi,

my Quartus II is able to recognize my device. If I go to Tools -> Programmer, select my hardware, the .sof file and click start. It works. However, If I go to Signal Tap II and try to download my bitstream on my hardware. It fails. It normally doesn't recognize my fpga but if i unplug and plug it back, it recognizes.. however It fails to download the bitstream? Any idea?

what I'm seeing in my log:

my udev rules:

# Altera USB-Blaster rule to set mode to 666.

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device", ATTR{idVendor}=="09fb", ATTR{idProduct}=="6001", MODE="0666"

    This is related to a recent change in the default Udev rules to set a catch-all rule for devices to be handled by MTP if they don't match any other udev rules for USB devices.

    Use the following udev rules:

    # USB-Blaster

    SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="09fb", ATTR{idProduct}=="6001", MODE="0666", ENV{MTP_NO_PROBE}="1"

    SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="09fb", ATTR{idProduct}=="6002", MODE="0666", ENV{MTP_NO_PROBE}="1"

    SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="09fb", ATTR{idProduct}=="6003", MODE="0666", ENV{MTP_NO_PROBE}="1"

    # USB-Blaster II

    SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="09fb", ATTR{idProduct}=="6010", MODE="0666", ENV{MTP_NO_PROBE}="1"

    SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="09fb", ATTR{idProduct}=="6810", MODE="0666", ENV{MTP_NO_PROBE}="1"
