Hey @BootBands, 

Thanks for reaching out today!

Are you using encrypted home directories? 

BootBands

@PIAAustin I am not using encrypted home directories.

PIAAustin

You may not have permission to the folder in your home directory. 

I will recommend deleting it as root (sudo rm -rf ~/.pia_manager) and trying again. 

BootBands

SOLVED

to fix the error the commands below were used:

cd ///home/bootbands/.pia_manager/log/
sudo rm pia_install.log
cd .pia_manager
sudo rmdir log
cd ..
sudo rmdir .pia_manager
cd downloads
./pia-v72-installer-linux.sh

Haha looks like we both posted at the same time. 

Thanks for letting me (and the forum) know how you solved this issue!
