I installed snaps and ultimate media downloader . aside from not really intuiting how media downloader exactly works it returns this
[umd4] Failed to find executable "/home/aoil2/snap/ultimate-media-downloader/11/.local/share/org.keshavnrj.ubuntu/UMD4/bin/yt-dlp".
so, I’m wondering what package I don’t have or what I’m not doing right.
I did read somewhere that you tube dl is no longer working ; but I don’t know.could anyone fill me in on this snap media downloader ? how do I enable an executable for it ?
Odds are something in the path or name of the executable has changed since the launcher was created. Have you looked at the directory structure and name of the installed application on your computer and compared them to the path in that error?

new job . been working.
have time now but no success- because I don’t really know how to do much of anything in Linux. but I like Manjaro and KDE Plasma .
Ok , for starters I’m only mildly competent with the command line and don’t really know commands.I’m fine copying and pasting instructions and occasionally , after reading a ton of info and guessing at what I might do/type ; basic stuff only . even succeeding at some stuff without doing any noticeable damage .
I’ve never even edited a config file. and I can’t find the config file for Ultimate Media Downloader or the location/path in the system for the app. so I can’t do what Jim B suggested.
Dolphin is different than what I’m used to in Mint or Manjaro XFCE so I don’t know how to see the path.
I have more stuff I’ve done ,after researching etc. , but it’s too much to try to tell. I’ll generalize.
clicked on properties for desktop icon - properties- /applications - enabled open in terminal - open app in terminal-that returns more failures - usually missing pkgs. when I search add/remove software I don’t find them or they don’t install or something else go’s wrong .
I did install youtube-dl and yt-dlp
Next - installed [Ktube - Media Downloader tool For Linux Distributions]
opened only in terminal-
QApplication: invalid style override passed, ignoring it.
Fontconfig warning: FcPattern object weight does not accept value [40 210)
While some file managers make it easy by providing a written out path, you can still check the path. Simply have the path in the error in front of you and then click on the folders in the file manager, checking the spelling as you go.
ok , thanks; I managed to follow the path in the error - in Dolphin and there is no executable . the path does seem different , in that the error path shows -
[umd4] Failed to find executable “/home/aoil2/snap/ultimate-media-downloader/11/.local/share/org.keshavnrj.ubuntu/UMD4/bin/yt-dlp” , but the path in dolphin - stops at
in /dolphin/org.keshavnrj - there is folder - “UMD4” and in that , there are 5 more folders ;
bin
data
engines.v1
tmp - and 1 .dbn file- none of which show an executable file and I don’t know what to open the .dbn with - if I even need to
so I can only guess there’s a pkg not installed , 1 or more that would bring in the executable ?
