You can still view YouTube fine if you change the user agent to Firefox 43 32
Bit GNU/Linux using e.g. user agent switcher add-on and use an older version
of ViewTube which can be downloaded from here:
I still have one problem, though.
The GTK themes used by Guix apps do not match the GTK themes of native apps,
and this sometimes causes buttons to not even show up. The button text
labels show up, but not the buttons themselves.
Also, Fcitx Mozc input method does not switch or work in
Not available? why not to download the source and compile it yourself? do it
when your needed program it is not available on your distro.
Okay, I think I screwed up and accidentally recommended proprietary software.
I should have looked at it more closely before suggesting it. I'll see
tomorrow if I can find a libre replacement but for now ignore everything I've
said.
sudo apt install smplayer
"The YouTube Browser couldn't be launched. Be sure SMTube is installed."
That's the reason it's incompatible with software freedom. But note that
Paypal is also a company which leaves you dependent on them financially, just
like credit cards, so that's another important issue. Some people have been
denied use of services like credit card transactions and PayPal
Try smplayer.
cal@leela:~$ apt search smtube
Sorting... Done

cal@leela:~$ guix package -s smtube
It isn't available.
Neither is youtube-viewer, and mps-youtube says mpv won't play the video,
even though I can do 'mpv ' just fine at the command line.

If I can get .profile to work, I'll use that.

Whoops, you're totally right and I totally knew that. I wasn't thinking.
What you're describing would be great for people who already know what they
want. People who are migrating from a Micro$oft or crApple OS
What's wrong with SMTube? (That's not a rhetorical question. I actually don't
understand the issue well enough to know if there is something wrong with
SMTube.)
Actually we have official variants beyond Gnome with LXDE, Openbox,and Sugar.
Triskel is unofficial. :)
I really wish someone would create a distro around the idea of selecting only
the software you want. I use Ninite when I set up Windows systems and every
time I do I just wish we could
I agree with all of your points, all of them are Google's problem; not Free
Software's. If Google's Craptube was something more than a naked grab for ad
dollars maybe they would have designed it with users in mind. Craptube can't
be fixed, its broken by design.
Viewing videos on the site
Users should not click a YouTube link and be automatically bombarded with
proprietary JavaScript, like what currently happens in Abrowser.
Users should be able to click a YouTube link and automatically view the
video, channel, playlist, and comments without running proprietary
JavaScript.
Other sites supported by avideo or other programs should have similar
interfaces and redirects.
Ok, thanks. These all look interesting and I will look into them. I guess the
main problem though is how many places will accept them? It doesn't look like
either Trisquel or FSF do, for example.
Ok. So, is the usage of non-free JS the main reason, or is there anything
else?
Solid State Drives are twice as fast and use 1/3-1/2 less energy.
I was asking for that reason.
also, I have a feeling yours is not an ssd. that's just my thought though.
I can confirm that downgrading to DAVdroid 1.9-ose seems to solve the
problem.
The problem will be fixed in version 1.9.2

yeah we got it :)
I hope that this thread hasn't left you feeling rejected by this community. I
would not have the courage to attempt to communicate publicly in a language
other than English, and it is unfortunate that none of the forums here are in
your native language. That said, there have been some great
Yes, there are really two separate issues here. I feel like including
something like Icecat is pretty clearly a good idea, but including DEs is
less obvious. However, I do think that it is important for beginners to be
able to easily try out different DEs.
It doesn't surprise me that
Diaspora and GNUsocial certainly are good options as they are more public and
are more likely to be seen by non-libre software users. I would encourage you
to join a pod in either or both in your native language.
Not really sure why Icecat isn't in there, but with alternative
desktop/window managers it might be due to Trisquels connection to Ubuntu.
Last I knew Ubuntu didn't offer them in their add/remove either. I can't
speak to the Icecat issue as I rarely install anything through a graphic
Thanks for this post. Your solution resolved the issue I was having.
Trisquel is almost entirely usable without a terminal or other tool with
which beginners would be uncomfortable, which is why it is the ideal distro
for ordinary desktop users. However, I've noticed in Belenos that some useful
programs do not appear in "Add/Remove Applications" such as
> However, my dominant online language is sure to be British English
It doesn't matter. Your native language is the one you were raised with as a
child, not necessarily the one you use the most now. More importantly, as you
yourself recognize, you are not fluent or even particularly
