{{HELP| i tried this but i get an error message after step 2:

To install the Active Protection System execute the following commands:

{{cmduser|sudo apt-get -y install tp-smapi-dkms hdapsd}}

{{cmduser|sudo modprobe tp-smapi}}

{{cmduser|sudo /etc/init.d/hdapsd restart}}

{{cmduser|echo 'tp-smapi' <nowiki>|</nowiki> sudo tee -a /etc/modules}}

My T61 freezes when going to sleep and is accidentally moved, to avoid this write on console:

{{cmduser|sudo touch /etc/pm/sleep.de/1-hdapsd.sh}}

{{cmduser|sudo chmod +x /etc/pm/sleep.de/1-hdapsd.sh}}

{{cmduser|sudo nano /etc/pm/sleep.de/1-hdapsd.sh}}

then put into 1-hdapsd.sh
<pre>

hibernate|suspend)
/etc/init.d/hdapsd stop
;;
thaw|resume)
/etc/init.d/hdapsd start
;;
*)
;;

</pre>
it stops hdapsd before pc goes to sleep and then starts it when it wakes up.

Ceskobassman: Ieee1394

Hi, I've tested IEEE1394 and it is working getting a video from a dv cam.
I've followed the istructions in this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-916257.html :
"9) Add your username (the person who will be logged in and doing the Video Capturing) to the group "disk".

To do this, click System -> Administration -> Users and Groups

Click the appropriate username, then click the Properties button,
in the new window called "User Properties", click the Group tab.

Locate disk in the list and put a tick next to it.
Now click ok, and close the "User Manager".

10) Open a terminal and type;

sudo gedit /etc/rc.local
add the following line of text to it and save then close the file.
/sbin/modprobe raw1394

Now type;

sudo modprobe raw1394
then
sudo chown "the username concerned" /dev/raw1394

Now restart your computer and get on with it! heh :popcorn:"

In this way I can register video with Kino.
I don't know if I can modify wiki page.
Let me know.
