[Issue] Quartus Standard Edition on Ubuntu Desktop 18.04.05 (VMware)

[CPaul10]

Hi 

Quartus Version：Standard Edition 20.1.1

OS：Ubuntu Desktop 18.04.05

My company bought the Arria 10 SOC Development kit recently.

I try to install Quartus Standard Edition 20.1.1 on Ubuntu Desktop 18.04.05(VMware).

After I execute quartus, the License Setup Required Window shows "nothing".

I try to install Lite Edition, it shows nothing too.

I follow the Youtuber's steps to install quartus, the license window shows "nothing" too...

Hi 

I found the real root cause.

Don't execute quartus software that the authority is "root".  (I don't understand why user can't use root authority to execute quartus )
