Using System->Administration->Software sources [Ubuntu software tab] please enable (Check the checkbox) all the showed repositories rows.

Then open a Terminal from the menu Applications->Accessories->Terminal and type:

sudo aptitude update
sudo aptitude upgrade
sudo aptitude install youtube-dl

give your user password when requested, you don't see nothing when you type it, then press enter.

Then to dl a youtube video open a terminal and type

youtube-dl address_of_video_to_downolad

Always useful is the online Ubuntu doc https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/

Hope this helps

It's /tmp -- the name of video will be "Flash...." and its .flv type.

hello,
it in /tmp folder.
first you must go to root "/" (click any folder and click "Up" until you find "/") and you can found the /tmp folder.

the video will be in .flv format and you can solve it with:
1:kaffeine media player
2:install the "flvtool2" package from synaptic package manager.(System--->Administration--->Synaptic Package Manager)
search for flvtool2 and mark for installation.

kaffeine will play the .flv video with good condition...
sorry for my english.
hope this help...
