Quartus Programmer [Linux]

In other news, my laptop is running fedora instead of Windows 7 like my desktop. I haven't used my laptop to program my board before so I gave it a go. Turns out its a pain. There is a permission problem, so you need to create a udev rule. After a bunch of research and partial solutions to the dreaded "Unable to lock chain (Insufficient port permissions)" problem I crafted the following udev rule which seems to work nicely. This issue is udev changes the permissions in /dev but quartus uses /proc so we need an extra command to update that as well.

BUS=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="09fb", SYSFS{idProduct}=="6001", SYMLINK+="usbblaster", MODE="0666", RUN+="/bin/chmod 0666 /proc/bus/usb/$env{BUSNUM}/$env{DEVNUM}"
