Youtube-dl is now working again. I didn't follow any of the newer
instructions above. But if I remember rightly, I did upgrade to a newer
version of the Linux kernel since I last tried. Maybe that helped somehow?

The situation wouldn't be much better on other fixed-release distros, even
those that are currently up-to-date. They will quickly fall behind in their

Many issues reported about youtube-dl have their fix related to using

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.

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.

giving sudo is absolutely not necessary. Recent versions of of pip without

It could be that you're using Python 2 and mps-youtube expects 3. Install
Python 3
$ sudo apt install python3
and try again.

It won't play videos, either when I double click, right click down to "video"
