The default "/bin/sh" shell of Ubuntu is (I believe) dash. Though most of Altera's install scripts are written generically enough to work with dash, some require bash. Since this could be the cause of the issue, I'd recommend either changing your default "/bin/sh" link to point to bash or modifying the top line# !/bin/sh in Altera's installation scripts.

Oh, and since I've been running (successfully) on 64-bit Ubuntu since late last year, I can vouch for the fact that it does, indeed, work. 8.0 even fixes the minor X Windows issues with the QII GUI.

Cheers,
