Hello there,
Anyone using PIA VPN linux client,it works on Debian/Ubuntu like systems,but have anyone working one on Gentoo?

Problem is it does not start while loading (v62,KDE Plasma 5),dependencies are:

-libappindicator1 (debian) - libappindicator (gentoo)
-libxss (debian) - libXScrnSaver (gentoo)

There is such log file in user directory-.pia_manager_crash.log ,which have such error:

Code:
#<LoadError: cannot load such file -- rubygems/specification>
/home/user/.pia_manager/pia_manager/64/rubygems.rb:206:in `try_activate'
/home/user/.pia_manager/pia_manager/64/rubygems/custom_require.rb:59:in `rescue in require'
/home/user/.pia_manager/pia_manager/64/rubygems/custom_require.rb:35:in `require'
/home/user/.pia_manager/pia_manager/64/openssl.rb:17:in `<top (required)>'
/home/user/.pia_manager/pia_manager/64/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:in `require'
/home/user/.pia_manager/pia_manager/64/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:in `require'
/home/user/.pia_manager/pia_manager/64/net/https.rb:22:in `<top (required)>'
/home/user/.pia_manager/pia_manager/64/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:in `require'
/home/user/.pia_manager/pia_manager/64/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:in `require'
/home/user/.pia_manager/pia_manager/pia_manager.rb:3:in `<encoded>'
/home/user/.pia_manager/pia_manager/pia_manager.rb:2:in `RGLoader_load'
/home/user/.pia_manager/pia_manager/pia_manager.rb:2:in `<top (required)>'
/home/user/.pia_manager/pia_manager/64/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:in `require'
/home/user/.pia_manager/pia_manager/64/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:in `require'
/home/user/.pia_manager/pia_manager/run.rb:51:in `<encoded>'
/home/user/.pia_manager/pia_manager/run.rb:2:in `RGLoader_load'
/home/user/.pia_manager/pia_manager/run.rb:2:in `<main>'---------


and this is debug

Code:

rubygems.rb:206:in `try_activate - spec = Gem::Specification.find_by_path path

custom_require.rb:59:in `rescue in require' - (load_error.message.end_with?(path) and Gem.try_activate(path))

custom_require.rb:35:in `require' - if Gem.unresolved_deps.empty? then

openssl.rb:17:in `<top (required)>' - require 'openssl.so'

custom_require.rb:36:in `require' - gem_original_require path


Any info would be appreciated.

I tried to install their thick client, tried messing around to get the needed dependencies... but couldn't make it work. I asked them for help, they said basically "it's probably not going to work for you (on Gentoo); we recommend instead using OpenVPN."

So that's what I'm doing :)

If you have since had success with the thick client, please advise.

I couldn't see how to make their client work so I used what I had used before for KDE...openvpn.

I know this is an old post, but in case anyone is interested I got this working.

Run the installer like this:

Code:
sh *linux.sh --skip-deps

This installed the software, I had no issues with dependencies. It assume that "ifconfig" and "route" are in /sbin, so symlink them there:

Code:
ln -s /bin/ifconfig /sbin/ifconfig
ln -s /bin/route /sbin/route


It connects and disconnects correctly.

What user did you run this as? Why the leading glob? That will malfunction if there are other scripts present with a similar name.

I ran it as a normal user, the script complains if you try and run it as root. I only had the one script in the directory and I avoid typing in the long name. You could always type in the full name:

Code:
sh pia-v80-installer-linux.sh --skip-deps
