** Description changed: I discovered the baobab error after the other error started. I report this on a netbook, since my desktop computer is unusable right now due to constant 'full disk' stuff. I don't know why the hard disk is seemingly full. Until yesterday, it was much less than 50% full, and I have not saved any files to it. Several times when I have received the error message about disk space, I - have chosen 'Analyze' or whatever the option was. + have chosen 'Examine...'. I then get the Disk Usage Analyser screen. I can't remember what the default view was. In any case, if I select 'Analyser' --> 'Scan Filesystem' it doesn't come up with anything useful. I wish I could send a screenshot. I can see the following: 1. Total filesystem capacity: 77.7 GB 2. (used: 77.6 GB available : 146.7 GB) but at the top level, the '/' folder has Size 9.2 GB. Where is the other 68.4 GB of stuff hiding? PS my home folder including all hidden files and folders is 2.7 GB. 1) The release of Ubuntu you are using, via 'lsb_release -rd' or System -> About Ubuntu 12.04 2) The version of the package you are using, via 'apt-cache policy pkgname' or by checking in Software Center Baobab 3.4.1 3) What you expected to happen Use my computer normally 4) What happened instead I cannot use it
