To install the drivers for the zedboard jtag in ubuntu do as follow;
Fist download the following zip file.
In this zip there are two deb files and a folder.
run:
-: sudo dpkg -i digilent.adept.runtime_2.18.3-amd64.deb
-: sudo dpkg -i digilent.adept.utilities_2.2.1-amd64.deb
Then go into the folder and run: sudo ./install.sh
Now running: djtgcfg -v should output:

and running: djtgcfg enum Should output:

If that is the case all is good and vivado should detect your board.
