Plugin doesn't seem to work on Ubuntu

[NewDefectus]

I'm running Ubuntu 22.04 and I tried using the git plugin in my project, but the editor (v3.5) doesn't seem to register it. After adding it to the addons directory I tried setting it up via Project -> Version Control -> Set Up Version Control, but I get the "No VCS plugins are available" error. The "commit" tab on the righthand side of the editor is missing as well.

@NewDefectus Do you also see any errors in the Output console or in the terminal (only visible if you start Godot through the terminal)?

Yep, this appears in the terminal (also appears in the output console):

Does running sudo apt-get install libssl-dev help? I think we need to check if OpenSSL is being loaded dynamically or linked statically on Linux.

[NewDefectus]

Nope, I'm getting the same error as before

Same issue on my end.
Ubuntu 22.04 LTS ship OpenSSL 3.0.2 so no libssl.so.1.1 and libcrypto.so.1.1
I took the libs from an installed snap and copied it over, it then worked without issue.

would it be possible to ship libssl.so.1.1 and libcrypto.so.1.1 with the plugin instead ?
