Permission on terminal from Launcher [Solved]

[bobbee]

do the mpv videos play?

it looks like the format of the strings being passed to start mpv are not valid.

They do run from terminal in my regular account.

The only confusing thing is they start normally when it's launched within terminal.

Maybe this works:

Code: Select all

sudo ln -s /usr/bin/python3 /usr/bin/python

I had my doubts about that symbolic link working.

But it did.

Thank you all for the help.

I notice just now that there's no link for python here, too:

Code: Select all

$ ll /usr/bin/pytho*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root    9 Nis  5  2021 /usr/bin/python3 -> python3.9
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 5,3M Şub 28  2021 /usr/bin/python3.9

(On MX 21 ... but it's normal on MX 19.4)

So, after the command it shows

Code: Select all

$ ll /usr/bin/pytho*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   16 Nis 14 23:46 /usr/bin/python -> /usr/bin/python3
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root    9 Nis  5  2021 /usr/bin/python3 -> python3.9
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 5,3M Şub 28  2021 /usr/bin/python3.9

In case you feel it's solved:

I will check that out.
Also I thought youtube-dl was a python 2 app.

It's also possible to install python2.7-minimal then link that one (in case needed).

If I don't have python 2, I will be installing it, lots of things still use it.
Plus I am trying to learn django which uses is python dependent.
If I had gone ahead and installed that, I might not have even had this issue.

Thanks, I did mark this as solved.

It is working after all.
