Downloading Videos from youtube in Linux

Most video downloaders available do not have a Linux version. If you are using Linux and you have a favorite video in youtube and want to download it to your local computer for future viewing, you may be stuck on this.
However theres a pretty simple way in which you can download these movies just by a click of a button.
For this example i am using Kali Linux a Debian Linux and Iceweasal which is the default browser, alternatively its a Mozilla Firefox version of Kali.
Theres no need for an application to be installed into the system for this to happen. All you need is a addon to be installed and intergrated with the browser.
The addon can be downloaded at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/video-downloadhelper/ Once downloaded it prompts you to install into the browser. After installation you have to restart the browser for the effects to take place.
The addon works by detecting a video  in a webpage then it becomes activated

The addon is automatically added nest to the video title. To download the video click the arrow then in the list choose download, or quick download. the video will be automatically added in the ongoing downloads. This addon also provides the option to convert the video as it downloads so you can convert your video to supported format of your video or audio player.

Installing Skype on your Debian version of linux.

Installing TeamViewer 9 in Kali Linux (Debian)

TeamViewer is nowadays most preferred remote desktop connection client. It is a product of TeamViewer company and is provided for commercial and non commercial purposes. 
For daily personal use a non-commercial (free) license serves the purpose and most people are currently using it to help their buddies when stuck in a certain task.
As we appreciate the fact people are becoming frequent users of open source Operating Systems - Kali Linux included, most people would like their systems to do what the other Proprietary software can do.
Most proprietary software provide a straight forward way of installing programs for obvious reasons; to make it user friendly and escalate it to more sales. On my view this has made people too lazy to think about what happens on the background of the installation process. Hence, "people can't think beyond the Graphics"
Kali Linux for newbies can provide the graphical installation of programs but most of the programs fail to install for obvious reasons "Newbies forget a superuser  installs programs"
To get your TeamViewer program up and running in your Debian flavor of Linux, simple commands are required  to install it. These are straight forward and do not necessarily require your intervention.
Open the Terminal on your left upper conner or go to Applications then Accessories. In the terminal copy and paste the following commands as they appear; 
please not that this installation has been tried in 32 bit Kali Linux

dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt-get update
wget http://www.teamviewer.com/download/teamviewer_linux.deb
sudo dpkg -i teamviewer_linux.deb
sudo apt-get install -f

dpkg --add-architecture i386 prepares the installation for a 32 bit installtion but in event its already configured it has a little impact.
sudo apt-get update gets the latest software upgrades from the OS developers.
wget http://www.teamviewer.com/download/teamviewer_Linux.deb connects to the server that hosts the application and downloads it from the server. The application is downloaded to the Home folder.
sudo dpkg -i teamviewer_Linux.deb is th installation command that installs the application from the downloaded folder.
sudo apt-get install -f  checks the application that may be installed together with the applications and not required for the appplication

Removing an entry from the BOOT LIST in Windows 7 using Boot Configuration Data Editor (BCDEdit)

Dual booting two operating systems is a cool way to manage computer resources, however if you get back to single boot, the Boot record could still be showing the previous Instances. In my case I was installing Kali Linux using the Debian setup that sets up the environment of installing the Linux Operating System to dual boot with Windows 7. The Linux OS installed successfully but the Debian GNU/Linux - Continue with install process entry remained in the Windows boot record.

To remove one entry so the windows boot directly without prompting me to choose an instance, this is the process

Run the Command prompt as Administrator, 

Type BCDEdit to display the running configuration of the boot loader.

  

This displays the instances of Operating Systems Installed in the computer and a present in the Boot Loader configuration.

To remove the unwanted entry; Debian GNU/Linux - Continue with install process in my case;

Type BCDEdit /delete {boot loader identifier}; In my case BCDEdit /delete {934f384a-f4a8-11e3-9b19-f0b1fa384968} then press enter.

 

  

The entry is deleted from the boot loader configuration and the you wont be prompted to choose operating system to continue with during boot process.

However exercise caution when entering the boot loader indentifier because if the Windows identifier is entered during this process the Operating System may be rendered unbootable.
