Hello,
I just installed Debian 12 on our desktop. We live out of the US and use PIA to watch stuff on PBS. We had PIA installed on Debian 9 but I can't get it back.
Per their instructions https://helpdesk.privateinternetaccess. ... 1-download I downloaded the file and used:But I got stuck at:
I ranand got this output:
The read only box in the Terminal menu is not checked. I made a halfhearted effort to do it as su but I didn't pursue it too far because I don't know what I am doing and fear that I will screw this up.
Any suggestions? It is a big week on PBS because there is a Nova special about how whales used to be terrestrial and I want to see it before it goes behind the paywall.
Thank you!
