Hello

Is there such an analyser like Gnome's Baobab for the KDE environment?

Thanks for your reply.

kdirstat or filelight

Thanks. I did find filelight in the repos but not kdirstat. After reading about the two, I'd prefer KDirStat. However on the website is mentioned a RPM package but no DEB package. And I have absolutely no idea how to build the program, not even after reading the how-to.

Any constructive ideas?

I am on Mint 12 KDE

hmm - did not realize but kdirstat is a KDE 3.x app (I still have it because I have the 3.5 libs and openSUSE still ships the app)

the reason it was dropped is because it wasn't ported to 4.x but there is a port (or at least a functionally equivalent version) called k4dirstat https://bitbucket.org/jeromerobert/k4dirstat/wiki/Home. Can't find any Kubuntu or Mint versions so you'd need to compile or try the Debian on the link. You could also post on Mint to request the app be packaged

you could look at xdiskusage or if the right Gnome/gtk libs are installed run Baobab

I did found the solution (for Mint 12 KDE):

I went to this Webpage and added the mentioned ppa according to the instructions. After a sudo apt-get update, I could install the programm. However it starts only from the console.

Thanks for your help.

If you run "kbuildsycoca4" then the application should show up in the menu if it shipped with a menu entry. If it did not, you can use the menu editor (kmenuedit in Konsole, or accessible as the KDE Menu Editor from the right click menu of the application launcher).
