Startpage appears to be fully functional without JavaScript. Cool!
If you are new to GNU/Linux it is easy to be confused about the difference
between the operating system and the desktop environment, because Window$ and
macOS don't offer multiple desktop environments. You can think of the DE as
the graphical interface over the underlying OS.

I'm fairly sure I tried to spam all the F combos that exist in desperate
attempt to achieve something at all, but I'll keep that in mind till next
time.
Allright, gonna be AFK this evening and possible tomorrow also, but I'll try
to get to this SMART stuff in reasonable near future, cheers
What about Startpage, then?

The JavaScript version of DuckDuckGo is non-free, and the HTML version does
not have video search feature.
YouTube's JavaScript is also non-free.
I see! :) cheers m8! I misunderstood your message, pardon.
Minitube no longer works unless it is compiled with a Google API key that you
can only get with a Google account and would presumably identify you to
Google every time you watch a video with your build.
If you have a 64-bit machine with Debian or Trisquel you could try the
binaries from
What's the point going to Youtube? I dunno. You decide. I gave an option to
watch it out of the browser and download, all on your own volition. I thought
you had trouble watching vids.
Btw, on StartPage.com it says "enhanced by Google". What does that mean? Are
they some sort of daughter company?
I see.
How do I "open /var/log/syslog" in leafpad? :)
I didn't quite understand what you meant by your text session tips. I tried
alt+F2, but that didn't work. The screen was all semi-frozen, I could move
the mouse, but it was moving slowly and laggy.
And when I did the ctrl+alt+F1 I got
For some strange reason I was not able to install regular Trisquel, but
Trisquel Mini worked :/
Nice!
Yeah, I had no luck with minitube either :/
What's the point then if I have to go to youtube.com to get the url?

Sought in the Trisquell Install/Remove menu, found the desktop
application "Minitube" which claims to show YouTube videos and thus
seemed to be the easiest way to watch them, installed it, opened it...
but I tried to enter a
If you use StartPage.com , do a search by video and there is a copy link option
on any video you click on. Paste that link in and your golden. No need to go to

Search, right-click get URL (link location). Or Youtube video, copy link.
Basically, just like you would find any other URL or website.
Cool! Both of those methods worked like a charm :)
Only problem with this method is, how do I browse to know what url I want ?
:P
Go with the default Trisquel DE.
Install mpv
sudo apt install mpv
Then launch mvp with URL (links to a Trisquel video on Youtube)
mpv https://youtu.be/tIecaLF_-x4
Or install youtube-dl.
sudo apt install youtube-dl
And download most videos.
youtube-dl https://youtu.be/tIecaLF_-x4
Thank you anyway for all the help and guidance, much appreciated!:)
I tried copying the url into the "open network stream" in vlc, and then I got
this message again "insecure something" and I had two options again, either
to "check verification" or something and "abort". And then only the
Sorry, I'm running out of ideas. I've had no problems with youtube-viewer in
Trisquel 8 and never used it in Trisquel 7.
For now, you could just use gtk-youtube-viewer for searching, right click on
the video you want to play, select 'more details', copy the URL and paste it
into vlc.
So I did that and tried to run youtube-viewer from terminal again, and it
didn't work :/
Okay, that means you already had Python 3 installed.
Try switching to a different player with > set player name-of-the-player
Repeat until one of them works or you've tried all of the players you have
installed. I'm running out of ideas.
oops
Hm. Perhaps this package is not in the Trisquel 7 repo. I don't know if
that's the problem because I don't know what the package does. Let's remove
that one from the list of packages we are installing and see if we can
install everything else.
$ sudo apt install liblwp-protocol-https-perl
I think you forgot to attach the screenshot.
Did that and got this (see screenshot)
than I tried again to search and play.
And it opened in VLC after I gave it permission, but it was only audio :/
Gotcha!
I typed that and got this (see screenshot)
To clarify, 'apt update' updates the repository to see if upgrades are
available. 'apt upgrade' installs any available upgrades.
In the comment you refer to, I suggested running both commands because you
had already installed youtube-viewer and I wasn't sure if it was the latest
version.
Yes, I have done that. I also tried smplayer and that didn't work for
streaming either. Actually, when I try to stream, some sort of error flashes
past on the input line, but it's so quick I can't read it. Is there some way
I can output that, or does it get logged somewhere?
Oh yeah, I can see why this is getting confusing when I'm jumping from thread
to thread like this.
I was referring to your guidance in installing the youtube-viewer where you
mention in this comment:
https://trisquel.info/en/forum/custom-building-and-water-cooling-free-world#comment-125063
It's supposed to be a GUI thingy where you can search, browse, download and
stream youtube videos according to mason.
But I am struggling to get the streaming part going. But I was able to
download a video and play it in VLC, so I got that goin' for me, which is
nice :)
hehe, but I still have no idea what youtube-viewer is.. :P
Your question about the grub config file was unrelated to youtube-viewer.
I see, thanks.
So I was asking for a recommendation in regards to get the youtube-viewer up
and running :)
The message is saying that you have a manually modified grub configuration
file. In the past you made a change, you added something probably. Now the
new version of the package associated with such configuration file is asking
you if you want it to overwrite the file you modified or keep it.
>sudo pip3 install mps-youtube
giving sudo is absolutely not necessary. Recent versions of of pip without
sudo will just rightly assume we want to do a local installation, which
requires us giving no root privileges to nothing.. files will get written in
.local. A .bashrc line to include
So I dud all the steps over again and after the terminal had worked long and
hard at the "sudo apt upgrade" command it showed this thing as attached
screenshot, what does this actually mean and what do you recommend here?
It could be that you're using Python 2 and mps-youtube expects 3. Install
Python 3
$ sudo apt install python3
and try again.
awesome, it worked all the way till I was typing 1 and enter to play the
first video.
Screenshot of the last bit of the terminal output
awesome! :D

Okay, assuming you typed it correctly it might only be in the Trisquel 8
repo. You might have to install it via pip as suggested, but it really isn't
too hard.
$ sudo apt install python3-pip
$ sudo pip3 install mps-youtube
Then follow the instructions in my previous comment starting with$
Can I ask how you get those nice yellow boxes for in your comments that you
use to highlight terminal commands?
Hmm, I got "E: Unable to loacte package" when I tried installing it through
LXTerminal
Did you already set mps-youtube's default player to mpv with> set player mpv?
If so, try a different player. When I tried mpv I only got audio, no video. I
then tried vlc which worked.
If you still want to try to get youtube-viewer working, run it from a
terminal$ gtk-youtube-viewerattempt to play a video, and copy/paste any
errors you get here.
It is in the repo.$ sudo apt install mps-youtube
It has a cli. Start it with$ mpsytset its video player to vlc with> set

Hm, I think I'll try to mainly stick to applications that are obtainable
through repo or package manager for now :) thanks though!
I don't seem to be able to stream vids with mps-youtube and I'm not quite
sure what the problem is. Downloading and playing videos separately with mpv
works fine. When I try to stream, I get a bunch of Python errors. I've tried
re-installing the Python packages that seem relevant, but it
An easy and efficient way to search, browse, download and view youtube vids
is you use mps-youtube.
