Quartus II JTAG Server Error Code 89

I've been trying to program my DE0-Nano for over an hour and a half now, and I am always getting an error when I press start in the programmer: 


Info (209060): Started Programmer operation at Fri Jul 26 17:38:22 2013
Error (209053): Unexpected error in JTAG server -- error code 89
Error (209012): Operation failed
Info (209061): Ended Programmer operation at Fri Jul 26 17:38:22 2013

I am using the 64 bit, linux, free web edition of quartus 2. Anyone?

    I hate to bump this early, but someone? How hard can this be to fix? Really...

    Sometimes I face issues with the JTAG USB dev not showing up on powerup. This is what I have followed.

    Add a line to etc/rc.local to start the jtag server. http://www.alterawiki.com/wiki/quartus_for_linux#setup_jtag

    Do the step outlined in this link: http://www.altera.com/download/drivers/dri-usb_b-lnx.html

    You may have to restart the JTAG server. I think that would be

    $ service jtagd restart

    Otherwise you might have to powercycle your computer after doing the steps above.

    I think this was addressed in this thread also

    Here's one of the better threads I've seen:

    ===

    UPDATE:

    To sift through the stuff on this site, error 89 means you don't have the correct permissions to the JTAG device on your Linux box/VM. I added the following to my USB rules (read the multitude of posts on this topic, but pay attention to what I've done as well...yours could be slightly different):

    ===# USB-Blaster

    SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device", ATTRS{idVendor}=="09fb", ATTRS{idProduct}=="6001", MODE="0666", SYMLINK+="usbblaster/%k"

    SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device", ATTRS{idVendor}=="09fb", ATTRS{idProduct}=="6002", MODE="0666", SYMLINK+="usbblaster/%k"

    SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device", ATTRS{idVendor}=="09fb", ATTRS{idProduct}=="6003", MODE="0666", SYMLINK+="usbblaster/%k"

    # USB-Blaster II

    SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device", ATTRS{idVendor}=="09fb", ATTRS{idProduct}=="6010", MODE="0666", SYMLINK+="usbblaster2/%k"

    SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device", ATTRS{idVendor}=="09fb", ATTRS{idProduct}=="6810", MODE="0666", SYMLINK+="usbblaster2/%k"

    Thank you slacker, the usb rules you provided work fine with a 64-bit Fedora 19 setup! Problem was solved

    The solution that had worked for me is as below:

    1. Copy the file 51-usbblaster.rules (provided by this repository) to /etc/udev/rules.d/51-usbblaster.rules
    2. Change the owner of this file to root (# chown root:root 51-usbblaster.rules)
    3. Reboot your system

    Content in 51-usbblaster.rules:

    SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="09fb", ATTRS{idProduct}=="6001", MODE="0666"
    SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="09fb", ATTRS{idProduct}=="6002", MODE="0666"
    SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="09fb", ATTRS{idProduct}=="6003", MODE="0666"
    SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="09fb", ATTRS{idProduct}=="6010", MODE="0666"
    SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="09fb", ATTRS{idProduct}=="6810", MODE="0666"
