Quartus II will start on Ubuntu 14.10. And I've successfully programmed .sof file to Cyclone V. But, if idle for a few minutes, it crashes with the following report:

Pete, 

 

Good, glad it got through. Yeah, it is definitely quirky -- For me, 15.0 has been a very pleasant experience so far... I was surprised to find that little quirk and so far it is the only type of crash I saw more than once. 

 

You are right -- I'm not getting any notifications.

For me I had to rename the following files in the ./altera/15.0/quartus/linux64 directories to remove all the error message due to incompatible libraries. 

 

crashreporter 

crashreporter.dep 

libccl_curl_drl.so 

libcrypto.so.1.0.0 

libcurl.so.4 

libssl.so.1.0.0 

 

But it's been running well since then, although the powerplay power estimator seems to be off for Max 10 devices.  

 

(I have another topic open on that). 

 

Thanks for the help 

 

Pete
