Hi, 

 

I try to use ModelSim-Altera Start Edition from shell on 64bit Debian/Linux. When I double click on a signal of my project, loaded under "work", it crashes with the following message: 

$ export PATH=${PATH}:/opt/altera/13.1/modelsim_ase/linuxaloem/# ...# setting up project $ vsim Reading /opt/altera/13.1/modelsim_ase/tcl/vsim/pref.tcl ** Fatal: Trouble with Simulation Kernel.  

 

I already tried opeining Modelsim from Quartus II, there it seems to work. Any idea why it crashes?

I have found one possible cause of this type of error 

 

Make sure all the undriven output signals in your verilog/systemverilog files assigned to zero value.
