Gui for for youtube-dl.....tried all the tips and tricks nothing works ! in Ubuntu 20.04

Okay Akito, that settles it for me. Daniel.m.trip also hinted to python. So I’ll go the python way…and…wait for it… it worked.
I know my approach is very crude (the idiots way of doing things) but it worked for me.
youtube-dl was already installed.
Going the python way: sudo apt-get install python [Enter]
Going online grab the most popular GUI: https://sourceforge.net/projects/tartube/
Downloading the tartube .deb package (not the strict one) ignoring all warnings.
unpacking with dpkg…
checkin show applications…and there it is! leftclick it and start downloading. Thankx Akito for the help. I wish someone had pointed out the python angle earlier. Thanx again! Tedski
