Quartus 11.0 Qsys on Ubuntu 11.04

[Altera_Forum]

I just wasted a bunch of time getting Qsys working on Ubuntu and hope this saves someone else some time. 

 I was getting an undiagnoseable failure during NIOS generation. It never occurred to me that the locale warnings spit out by perl were an actual problem. I fixed the locale issue just to clean up the error reports and then system generation worked. The command to fix the locale is:sudo locale-gen en_US At least it worked for me.  The other good news is that the USB Blaster worked without any fiddling. I just opened up the programmer and it was available. I almost fainted.

thanks for posting the tip and for the Blaster laugh :)

What was the locale setting when it had problems?

Great this fixed the issue I had ! 

 It was working flowlesly with SOPC Builder but it seems QSys requires the locale to be set to en_US !  Thanks !

Also note this fix is working for any release of Ubuntu and might be working with any Linux distrib which doesn't have the en_US locale available.

Thanks thepancake and gjoli, 

 I'll make development aware of this.

Thanks for this post. Fixing the locale solved my problem too!

It seems like I have a similar problem on Windows.

The QSys perl script is complaining about the locale settings and the generation fails.

I have tried to find a similar topic for Windows, but failed, so I write here.

I'm running Quartus 13.1 since it supports Cyclone III and Cyclone V at the same time.

I can generate the QSys design on Linux, but not in Windows. So I believe that it is a setting like locale in Windows that is wrong.

I have tried to set LC_ALL and LANG to en_US, en, en-US, en_US.UTF-8 etc, but none of them is recognized by perl.

Anyone that knows how it should be configured?
