Re: [xubuntu-users] showing disk space used

[John R. Sowden]

I have tried baobab.  I don't understand the 'ring' graph and the tree 
graph option is totally beyond me.  Part of the problem is in both 
graphs, the colors or shapes are not identified, leaving me to go 
between a directory listing and the chart.  Too much use of the wrong 
cpu.  ncdu is better.  I was just hoping for something more like hog.  I 
just looked inside hog.exe and found the author's name.  I duckduckgoed 
him and found him "Jay Wherley".  I dropped him a note re: Linux.  I saw 
in his site that he wrote a newer version of it for windows.


I saw k4dirstat that someone mentioned.  The png looks good. Assuming 
that is a KDE program, when I switch from Suse to Ubuntu when Ubuntu 
first came out, I decided to not run KDE programs on Ubuntu, as there 
seem to be a lot of dependencies.  Mate looks interesting.

In addition to 'du', there is ncurses-based 'ncdu' for a prettier
output.

You probably look for apt-get install k4dirstat. A must have in my opinion.

[xubuntu-users] showing disk space used

[John R. Sowden]

There is a program in DOS called hog.  It shows me the amount of disk 
space consumed by each of the current directory's subdirectories in a 
pie chart with different colors. I an instantly see where I am consuming 
disk space.  Is there something like that for Linux?  I use Ubuntu 140.04.


If not, is there a way of displaying directory's consumed disk space in 
Thunar?
