Help needed using Lattice Diamond 3.6.0.83.4 with MachXO3 Starter Kit on Ubuntu 14.04

Diamond is installed and runs, but does not program:

That I read, but how about your usb configuration ? which ftdi module is being loaded ? (The usb issues are also present with altera's ByteBlaster as as usual Ubuntu is not officially supported but you can find how to do the usb configuration. I used to try this in CentOS having Diamond doing almost one try and then having to reboot to be able to try to program again, I didn't know at the time that ftdi_sio trick. That's why I suggested it.

okay thanks,
please list the tests you would like me to make,
ie to define and confirm why programming is broken.

brief notes:

Diamond 'Detect Cable'  is not showing USB2 option, though HW-USBN-2B (FTDI) is showing

I have set up udev rules and removed  ftdi_sio

I also made link to Diamond libftd2xx.so
