PIA Install broken

[fehlix]

Getting weirder.

Code: Select all

It will not uninstall.
Removing piavpn-downloader-installer (19.07.01) ...
dpkg: error processing package piavpn-downloader-installer (--remove):
 subprocess installed pre-removal script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
 piavpn-downloader-installer

Ahhe, that's "good" at least we have now an indication what the reason.
Perhaps run from the terminal window

Code: Select all

sudo apt purge piavpn-downloader-installer

to clear the "debris".

That's interesting, the console output log ( that's the tab on the above-right "Console output") shall hold the same what you have seen on the screen.

I do not see that tab anywhere.
[/code]

It shall be visible right of "flatpak tab after the run finshed:

What I did not mention as it has not caused a problem in the past is that I do have KDE standard installed.
...Perhaps I nee to delete the KDE stuff.

Let the KDE stuff installed, it a good test case.. I might to install KDE to reproduce the issue.

Got it installed by running it all from terminal not MXPI.

Code: Select all

sh install_piavpn.sh  
[sudo] password for richard: 
install_piavpn.sh: 90: install_piavpn.sh: Syntax error: "(" unexpected

On the command line you need to run it as
./install_piavpn.sh
not
sh install_piavpn.sh
So it get's the correct shell loaded. If running as "sh install_piavpn.sh", it is forced the run "sh" not the "bash" as indicated i the first line "#!/bin/bash" of the script.

I ran it in the correct directory.
richard@mx1:/usr/share/pia-downloader-installer
$ sh install_piavpn.sh

EDIT: So I guess the question remains, why it will not install with MXPI. Need some other testers to determine if it is just me.

richard@mx1:/usr/share/pia-downloader-installer
$ sh install_piavpn.sh

Better run it as
./install_piavpn.sh
as it will than run with bash.

Need to test with KDE, installed ... to see the difference.

OK for the future. But it did install and is running fine.

Not just me I guess.

OK tested in KDE, the kdeaskpass behaves differently, does not provide a proper return code ... will now rely on ssh-askpass-gnome only for the sudo request.
