Install HDAPS - IBM Active Protection System Linux Driver:
(http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/HDAPS)

In Ubuntu 11.04 with Unity Shell (like GNOME 3 WITHOUT gnome-panel)
 http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/festplattenschutz
 'tp-smapi' and 'hdapsd' work still very well but NONE of the gnome
  applets will work, neither with GNOME 3 nor Unity.

Use 'gnome-hdaps-osd' as replacement for 'gnome-hdaps-applet' (or
 'hdapsgl-applet') in order to get information about your HDD protection
 status.


Daemon script usage:

Run script:
 python gnome-hdaps-osd.py
after making executable
 ./gnome-hdaps-osd.py start

Stop script:
 ./gnome-hdaps-osd.py stop
