USB Blaster failed to program on Lubuntu17.10

I've just upgraded my system from Lubuntu15.10 to Lubuntu17.10 on my laptop. But the USB blaster failed to work.

Device recognization is OK, programming seems to work, but finally nothing was downloaded to the FPGA.

If I use Windows XP in VirtualBox on my laptop, the USB Blaster works fine.So I'm now running a jtag server on Xp and connect programmer to it through bridged virtual local network. What could be the problem?

Below is done:

sudo mount --bind /dev/bus /proc/bus

sudo ln -s /sys/kernel/debug/usb/devices /proc/bus/usb/devices

And udev rules is added:

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="09fb", ATTRS{idProduct}=="6001", MODE="0666"

Quartus version is 13.1 linux64.
