In my case, the user permission is problem. So when I run Disk Analyzer with root's permission, I can see some big hidden file which I cannot with user's permission. Hope this can help.

Since there is already a good description of the problem, I'll keep it short and clear: Same problem with me. I have separate mount points for /, /home and /tmp. In /home I have about 5GB free. When I download a big file (for example the alternative Ubuntu CD) on the desktop I get a warning that I have less than 1.9GB free disk space. I looked in Gparted (refreshed the data a couple of time just to make sure), while having this message in front of me, and all I can see is that I have a little bit more than 4GB. I also checked with the Disk Analyzer - same thing there. -- Incorrect message "Low Disk Space" on Ubuntu 9.10 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/494313 You received this bug notification because you are a direct subscriber of the bug.
