Please update the thread if you figure out what is going on.

There have been some external tutorials I've found for hacking things to get modelsim to run properly under ubuntu, getting the USB blaster to work, etc, but usually the basic software and other core stuff would run. The clock domain stuff in Qsys would be nice to be able to use...along with any other updates behind the scenes to IP and such.

The other real plus of 14.1 is that it seemed like the built in help links worked on ubuntu for the first time (pulling up a browser and not failing). That stuff worked fine under CentOS/Redhat -- but I can't make myself run Centos as a main OS on my laptops due to hardware support; just too painful. I keep VM's up to date on all the ubuntu boxes with Centos 6.6 if I really need to run stuff there.
