Questa Simulator not launching in Linux

[JorgeA]

I have recently installed Quartus Prime Lite Edition 22.1std.2 Build 922 in my Linux Mint 21.1 desktop. I'm currently working on a project and I've been meaning to simulate a Verilog module through a testbench. My design compiles fine. I have done all the setup steps required to achieve this, and I'm executing Tools > Run Simulation Tool > RTL Simulation. The messages I'm getting don't show any error:

Info (22036): Successfully launched NativeLink simulation (quartus_sh -t "/home/jorge/Aplicaciones/Quartus/quartus/common/tcl/internal/nativelink/qnativesim.tcl" --rtl_sim "Pulse_Detector" "Pulse_Detector")
Info (22036): For messages from NativeLink execution see the NativeLink log file /path/to/project/Pulse_Detector/Pulse_Detector_nativelink_simulation.rpt

And the log file refered above doesn't show anything either:

Info: Start Nativelink Simulation process
Info: NativeLink has detected Verilog design -- Verilog simulation models will be used

However the simulation software does not launch at all. I tried to open it by clicking the vsim executable in 'QuartusPath/questa_fse/linux_x86_64' and it doesn't work either. I also did the solution in the following link, and it didn't help: https://community.intel.com/t5/Intel-Quartus-Prime-Software/Can-t-launch-Questa-from-Quartus/m-p/1466860#M77661

I would appreciate some help.

Hi,

Check this previous post link https://community.intel.com/t5/Intel-FPGA-Software-Installation/Questa-Intel-FPGA-Starter-Edition-does-not-recognise-license/m-p/1395125

Linux Mint is not an officially supported OS for Questa. Please use the supported OS stated in this link https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/programmable/support-resources/design-software/os-support.html

Thanks,

Best Regards,
