dolphin doesn't show hardisk usage and any program is installed to do this

[nowardev]

Binary package hint: kdebase

When you install kubuntu-desktop you can't see anywhere your hardisk usage.

you have to enable the feature on dolphin
or you have to install kdf
or you have to install kinfocenter

if you don't get these packages or you don't enable the feature in dolphin you simply don't know how much free space there is
this is silly. other distribution like sabayon got kdf or kinfocenter i don't remember

sudo apt-get install kinfocenter kdf

i guess kdf is the smaller but the best think is to modify dolphin configuration file

kdesudo kate /usr/share/kde4/config.kcfg/dolphin_generalsettings.kcfg

<entry name="ShowSpaceInfo" type="Bool">
            <label>Show the space information in the statusbar</label>
            <default>true</default>
        </entry>

but for some reasons i can't get it with this modifcation dunno :S

You know, you could just use the dolphin settings dialog.

[nowardev (nowardev)]

it's not consistent with ubuntu, gnome2
if you use the dolphin settings dialog you can't set it for each user.

btw it's a 2010 bug. i guess now it's resolved , infact with the new dolphin is totally unnecessary to have that bar because overing the hardisk on the left panel you get % of disk usage .
