How to get YouTube video in Ubuntu

I've been using Ubuntu for quite a while. so far so good, fast start up n nice interface n yada yada.
recently i notice there's no more Flash file in my /tmp folder each time i watch YouTube. makes me wonder wtf happened?!!

so google it for reason and apparently that fuckin' Adobe purposely want to make our day miserable to avoid so called illegal YouTube download. hey stupid Adobe! what the hell u thinking trying to do? if u can watch it, much better if u can watch n save it right?

so for those who still using Ubuntu, there's another alternative to download video (I'm not gonna yield to that stupid Adobe moron! haha). so here what you should do

|    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:clipgrab-team/ppa
|    sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install clipgrab

you can open it on Applications > Internet > ClipGrab



so far so good for me :)

another alternative are...

  • Open flash video page (that you own of course) and let it load. Don't close the page.
  • Open terminal and type (Ctrl +Alt+T)
            lsof | grep Flash

  • And then you will see some data stuff. when I'm using Chrome, i got this:-
           chrome    5363      username   34u      REG        8,4 14922095     524294 /tmp/FlashXXedwKFs 

  • Then change the numbers (process ID) in the red color
          cp /proc/5363/fd/34 ~/Desktop/video


after that the video will be displayed in your desktop. have fun trying! ^_^
