This post will explain about some simple methods to Download YouTube videos on Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx.You can do it either from command line or Terminal or in graphical interface by using some plugins in Firefox.Two common methods are explained here,which surely works in Ubuntu 10.04.
Method #1 : From Command Line
It’s very simple and fast.There is a simple utility called youtube-dl for downloading videos from terminal.So install the youtube-dl package.
First open the terminal(CTRL+ALT+T) and install youtube-dl package by typing the command(=>Password)-
$ sudo apt-get install youtube-dl
Then you can open youtube and copy the url of the video you want to download.Enter the url with the command to download the video.
youtube-dl "URL"
e.g
youtube-dl "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DWevG2BlH3k"
Method #2 : Firefox Plugin
If you don’t want to mess with command line then surely you will go with this method.What you have to do is to install a plugin which will automatically indicate a link when any videos are available to download in youtube or any other sites.
Plugin Name : Flash and Video Download

Install it from Firefox Plugin Directory or from Firefox Add on Manager.
After installing the plugin,open youtube and play the video you want to download.Then you will notice an arrow link in Bottom Right Corner of the Browser.Just click on that,it will allow you you to download any flash files available on youtube or any other website,simple by clicking on the selected video files.
