It seems that Quartus - at least the NIOS software part - no longer works in ubuntu.

I haven't been able to flag anyone down about this issue.

Best of luck!

Hi Gary,

The NIOS II SBT is working fine on Ubuntu. It seems you missed to update the installation files after getting it installed.

Please let me know if you need guidance on how to install Quartus on Ubuntu.

I am not the original poster.

We are both talking about Quartus 18. The eclipse installation files you mention are for Quartus 19.

He's getting farther with ubuntu 18 than I am with ubuntu 16. Still broken though - for both of us it's dying before eclipse is invoked.

What, if any, additional files need to get added after installing Quartus 18? I don't find them mentioned?

Hi,

Are you facing certain errors, or it just dies without generating any error message?

Please this is very important to investigate the issue.

Hi AhmedH,

when launching the Nios from Quartus I can't see any errors, I can see the NIOS eclipse start image for just a frame and close without any message and indication. The error I put in this post is when launch the Nios from command line I tried to see If I could solve it.

Thanks,

regards,

Julian.

I experienced similar issue and when I run command

export SWT_GTK3=0

before running 

eclipse-nios2

the tool worked.
