Quartus 11.0sp1 won't save options. Running Ubuntu 11.04 64bit.

Does anyone have trouble saving preferences in Quartus 11.0sp1 under Ubuntu? 

Unless I run it with sudo, Quartus won't be able to save any options I set like Preferred Text Editor, tool paths, etc. It doesn't seem to remember any recent project info either. 

 

Any idea? 

 

Thanks, 

V

I have figured this out. 

I installed Quartus with sudo. So the owner of everything including the the configuration folder under my home directory became root. 

Simply taking the ownership with chown fixes everything.

I had similar problem with Quartus II 14.1 . 

After installation permissions of ~/.altera.quartus did not allow to write into this folder. It is the folder for storing configuration. 

I've solve this problem with 

sudo chown <mu_username>:<my_groupname> ~/.altera.quartus
