Problem when installing NIOS II SP2

When trying to install SP2 for Altera NIOS II i've got this error:

$ ./install_patch
bindkey: Command not found.
Illegal variable name.

To resolve that problem open "install_patch" script and remove these lines:

bindkey "^[[3~" delete-char
set KBS=`tput kbs`
if (${%KBS} == 1) then
    stty erase $KBS
endif

After install Quartus II SP2 it stop working. When you execute Quartus a blank window appears. This problem seems related to the graphical interface. I found two solutions that work on my environment (Linux Mint 8 64 bits (an Ubuntu-based distribution)):

1) a simple work-around is execute a QT GUI version of Quartus II. Just execute "qgui" instead of "quartus". But this is a beta interface.

2) copy "mw" e "mw64" directory from previous Quartus II to location where you installed it.
