[tpm2] Initialization fails with error 0xb000b

Hey,

I am getting the following error on execution:

ubuntu:~/Desktop$ sudo tpm2-abrmd --allow-root --tcti=libtcti-socket.so
** (tpm2-abrmd:36554): WARNING **: failed to dlopen library: libtcti-socket.so
** (tpm2-abrmd:36554): CRITICAL **: TCTI initialization failed: 0xb000b

Same error if i execute as tss:

$ sudo -u tss tpm2-abrmd --tcti=libtcti-socket.so
[sudo] password for wisn:
** (tpm2-abrmd:38290): WARNING **: failed to dlopen library: libtcti-socket.so
** (tpm2-abrmd:38290): CRITICAL **: TCTI initialization failed: 0xb000b


I did ldconfig after installation with no effect. I created a gist of the installation steps I took, in case this helps: https://gist.github.com/moneeb777/ceabfad71462d4ffc3e0c25a9da2b2ff

Can someone guide me with this?

Regards,
Moneeb

Gladly. Running as root vs running as tss user in this case shouldn't
have an impact. The daemon isn't able to open the shared object based on
the name you've provided. This library has been renamed in the tpm2-tss
repo in anticipation of our next major release. It is now called
"libtss2-tcti-mssim.so".

Dan just updated the man page for the daemon so that we're using the
right names in the examples:
https://github.com/tpm2-software/tpm2-abrmd/commit/98dd707fe58d839e2e642e2c9108c77e277b94f2

This of course assumes you're working off of the 'master' branch of the
repos of course.

Hope this helps,
Philip
