When I click to run/install xplane, it just generates - X-Plane Installer Log.txt and nothing loads.

Question

Hello,

I am using ubuntu 16.04 LTS
16 gb memory
intel i7
hd graphics 620
64bit

When I originally installed x-plane 11 it worked perfectly.  Now when I try to run or install it again nothing happens except it generates a file called: X-Plane Installer Log.txt

Here is what the file looks like....

Installer log.txt for X-Plane Installer 4.03r2 compiled on Oct 31 2017 10:50:20
Installer started on Sun Feb 18 11:23:54 2018

I haven't changed anything on my computer at all.  All other programs execute fine.

It sounds like you are running the Installer program, instead of the X-Plane program. While you can run X-Plane via the installer, you can also run X-Plane by finding the install folder (should be on the desktop by default) and double clicking on the X-Plane program inside.
