The youtube totem plugin requires python-gdata, which is not installed by default. Installing the package resolves this problem. It seems either python-gdata should be installed with totem, or the youtube plugin should not be included with totem by default.

i ran Synaptic and installed python-gdata and finally succeed in activating the YouTube plugin fro Totem

i had luck to find with Google that article http://tecnocode.co.uk/2007/10/12/totem-youtube-plugin/ which mentioned the need of the GData Python library.

that can't be discovered easily therefore python-gdata should be installed by default or on demand, when trying to activate the plugin
