Thanks. However that is how I was logged in. Any other ideas?
Actually I just solved it. A bit of background. I'm trying to make a pia media server following a year-old YouTube tutorial. I ssh'd into my pi and installed OMV by copy/pasting a command from the video description. The command I copied did not include "sudo" to start thought it was typed in the video. I reinstalled everything and this time I typed "sudo" before pasting the command and hitting enter. The install completely finished. Problem solved. Thanks for your reply though.
