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'

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
