Hello,

I have installed quartus 20.1 on ubuntu 20.04 and I having issue with the setting window being not displayed fully. screen shot of the window is attached here.

the portion below the drawn line is not being displayed on screen but it did get in picture when I took screen shot.

the portion below the line contain apply and ok buttons to confirm the any changes in setting and I need this these buttons.

Also only the setting window cannot be resized (resize option is not working for it).

May sure you restart the Quartus to take effect.

any update?

[qaziullah]

@KennyTan_Altera  the link is asking to delete the following folder on the computer

1. "~/mw " .

2.  " /tmp/mw_<username>" 

I don't hava "~/mw " or a " /tmp/mw_<username>" directory on my computer.

So the problem is still unresolved.

Can you try the below?

cd to home/<user>/.altera.quartus  rename the quartus2.ini and quartus2.req for linux

and reopen the quartus. this will reset the initial setting of the quartus prime.

I only have quartus2.qreg file in the folder.

what should I rename it to?

[KennyTan_Altera]

you can rename it to anythings. This renaming purposes is just for backups in case you need it back in the future.

Hello,

I have exacly the same problem using Ubuntu 24.04 and Quartus Prime lite 23.1. It is impossible to apply any change since I cannot see the buttons.

I tried what was explained above but I cannot find directory with the name mentioned. Also, I could not find the quartus2.ini and I the command "cd to home/<user>/.altera.quartus" tell me that this directory does not exist (I do not see it too).

Is there anything else I could do ? I mean, I could not follow any of the given instruction as it does not apply to me looks like. I mostly tried to change settings in Ubuntu but nothing worked.

Thank you in advance for your answer !

For the information, after very long hours of trying to fix this issue, I finally just arrived to the conclusion that the easiest way is to see the buttons is to connect an additional screen to my laptop (which is old and have a low resolution).

On the bigger screen, I could see the buttons and start working. However, I am still keen on knowing how to solve the issue because it is not the most practical to do this in my configuration.
