There is a small and a larger nagging issue here. First the small issue, where you need to give normal non-root users access to your USB blaster:
sudo mount -t usbfs -o,remount,devmode=0666 usbfs /proc/bus/usb
We've found this with many non-official instructions on the web. Didn't spot this yet in official Altera docs. Creating the udev rule as shown in the Altera doc might also a bit error sensitive. Strangely they do not make much effort in a proper installation tool for this.
The larger issue is that some users find their JTAG daemon process to get stuck. The GUI shows an "invalid data" error. Kill the jtag daemon with
killall jtagd
and restart the GUI to workaround this.
I've filed this JTAG daemon bug some months ago. First using a non officially supported Linux, Ubuntu 8.04 LTS, then using an officially supported one CentOS 5.5. (problem remains) It's quite hard to get this problem cleared with Altera support. They've put my support case to Closed/Pending, whitout even attempting to reproduce. I imagine, the least one can expect from support.
