I know that there are some problems with Vivado on Ubuntu 10.04.
But on the other hand I know that it is working fine on Ubuntu 12.
It means it is related to some libraries and it is connected to specific
distribution version.

It means ubuntu is not officially supported because as you probably
understand it is really expensive to validate more distribution.

Thanks,
