Description

I am on a Ubuntu 14.04 machine.
I installed the rvm package for Ubuntu and then I tried to install some rubies. I tried with ruby 2.7.1, ruby 2.6.6, ruby 2.6.0 but all my attempts failed:

me@HOME:~/Downloads$ rvm install 2.7.1
Searching for binary rubies, this might take some time.
No binary rubies available for: ubuntu/14.04/x86_64/ruby-2.7.1.
Continuing with compilation. Please read 'rvm help mount' to get more information on binary rubies.

Failed download
There has been an error fetching the ruby interpreter. Halting the installation.

It seems that the installations are failing to create the ruby-*.tar.bz2.part file, because the permission is denied. What is the download location? How can I solve this issue?

Hi @knzudgt and thanks for reporting this issue.

Had you rebooted?

Case yes, can you try rvm fix-permissions system ? (Maybe it'll ask your password).
