New ContributorHello,
Definitely. The easiest way to reproduce this is by installing a new Quartus and trying to install the license. Note: it is not only the initial license UI that is broken, starting Quartus with a proper license also results in the crash.

The easiest way to get the stacktrace is think is like this:

You can also install the libudev.so debug symbols from Ubuntu, should be called libudev1-dbgsym, for even more details in the udev library.
To use the workaround I have, you can do this:
bluecmd@stereolith:~$ LD_PRELOAD=/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libudev.so.1 ~/intelFPGA/20.1/quartus/bin/quartus
Now when you click on the Select license file option you should be greeted by the license UI.
New ContributorI get the exact same problem running Quartus in ChromeOS Crostini (Debian LXC VM). The same solution work around the issue.
New ContributorThanks Rickard! Happy the workaround worked for you.
I have some extra data-points to share:
# ** Error: ../intelFPGA/20.1/quartus/eda/sim_lib/mentor/stratixv_atoms_ncrypt.v(38): (vlog-2163) Macro `<protected> is undefined. # ** Error: ../intelFPGA/20.1/quartus/eda/sim_lib/mentor/stratixv_atoms_ncrypt.v(38): (vlog-2163) Macro `<protected> is undefined. # ** Error: (vlog-13069) ../intelFPGA/20.1/quartus/eda/sim_lib/mentor/stratixv_atoms_ncrypt.v(38): syntax error in protected region. # # ** Error: ../intelFPGA/20.1/quartus/eda/sim_lib/mentor/stratixv_atoms_ncrypt.v(38): (vlog-13205) Syntax error found in the scope following '<protected>'. Is there a missing '::'? # End time: 23:08:09 on Aug 20,2020, Elapsed time: 0:00:00 # Errors: 5, Warnings: 0
The workaround is to only use LD_PRELOAD for Quartus tools, and not ModelSim. I have no idea why preloading udev would suddenly break the decryption but I can reliably reproduce the issue on a clean Ubuntu 18.04 and 20.04 machine (non-WSL) when setting LD_PRELOAD=/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libudev.so.1.
This is of course only relevant if you are using the 64-bit version of ModelSim. As Intel only distributes the 32-bit version to my knowledge that does not apply here.
Super ContributorSorry that case had been idling for quite sometimes.
Could you try to install the latest Quartus version and see if the issue still persists? Please download the Quartus version with the corresponding OS from https://fpgasoftware.intel.com/
Try to follow the steps in Installing Windows Subsystem for Linux* (WSL) on Windows and please use Ubuntu 18.04 as stated in the user guide.
New ContributorThe latest version for Prime Standard is still 20.1 as far as I can tell. The behavior is the same for Ubuntu 18.04 and 20.04.
I use 20.1 on Ubuntu 18.04 every week and I have to use the preload workaround.
EDIT: I see that I reported 18.04 as working an above post, but that's incorrect. I recall having that conclusion but I cannot remember why I thought that - I can clearly reproduce the issue on 18.04 and indeed I have to use the PRELOAD workaround every time I use Quartus.
