SignalTap II and Linux Installation issues

Hi, I am wondering if someone had had any issues while using SignalTap II in unsupported Linux installation. I am using Quartus II 8.0 (SP1) installation on CentOS5.2 with USBBlaster download ...

I am running Kubuntu 9.10 and using Quartus 9.1SP1. I too can compile the design, and the USB Blaster is working fine as a programmer, scanning the JTAG chain and even programming the device **in the signaltap screen**

However the instant I try to run an analysis with signaltap I get an immediate JTAG communication failure.

I think that there is something not quite right with the signaltap interface on Linux. Does anyone from Altera monitor the forums? I am willing to act as a guinea pig in order to help get this working, and am very familiar with Linux internals (I write device drivers for a living).
