Need help installing PIA VPN...
Hello. Me again. As if you couldn't tell, I'm brand new to Trisquel. I apologize for so many questions.
So I have PIA VPN and I'm trying to install it on a T400 w/Trisquel and Libreboot.
First I followed these instructions.

Everything seemed OK, but when I click on the icon for PIA, nothing happens.
So I tried these instructions.

I was able to get a connection to PIA, but the icon still does nothing.
How do I get the icon to work and access the settings?
Help!

You're running Trisquel 7 Gnome Flashback ? (i'm not familiar with Gnome) but the sugestions here might help

ALT-right click on the top panel (taskbar), you can drag and drop the desired apps from Application to the top panel
Make sure to disable WebRTC in Abrowser as sugested here in 'about:config Tweaks'
