installed gizmo plugin seems to be broken on linux

[mirkoz]

I have the same problem as the 2 on the bottom of this report. I found out that it might be gizmo issue.

$ grep -i Gizmo Log.txt
dlerror:/var/home/mirkoz/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/X-Plane 11/Resources/plugins/Gizmo64.plugin/lin_x64/Gizmo64.
plugin.xpl: invalid ELF header

 

I tried to uninstall TBM and remove Gizmo plugin and ran the installer again. And the installed linux gizmo looks like broken:

 

$ file Resources/plugins/Gizmo64.plugin/lin_x64/Gizmo64.plugin.xpl  
Resources/plugins/Gizmo64.plugin/lin_x64/Gizmo64.plugin.xpl: data

$ ldd Resources/plugins/Gizmo64.plugin/lin_x64/Gizmo64.plugin.xpl  
ldd: warning: you do not have execution permission for `Resources/plugins/Gizmo64.plugin/lin_x64/Gizmo64.plugin.xpl'
       not a dynamic executable

The windows plugin looks good:

$ file Resources/plugins/Gizmo64.plugin/win_x64/Gizmo64.plugin.xpl  
Resources/plugins/Gizmo64.plugin/win_x64/Gizmo64.plugin.xpl: PE32+ executable (DLL) (console) x86-64, for MS Windows, 6 sections

and other plugins looks like this:

$ ldd Resources/plugins/AviTab/lin_x64/AviTab.xpl  
ldd: warning: you do not have execution permission for `Resources/plugins/AviTab/lin_x64/AviTab.xpl'

       libXau.so.6 => /lib64/libXau.so.6 (0x00007f21b2b9d000)

Given that it does not ask for credentials when its run, I think it might be related to the described problems. I guess something has changed in gizmo as it used to work at least for my friend on Fedora Linux. As of now, the plane is somehow functional but unusable

Gizmo is not required for activation on Linux. You, and the others, can ignore this specific error.
