graphical disk usage

I've been looking for a program that will graphically display disk usage.
Mainly I want this for USB devices (since I store most data there)

Some of what I've gotten to work:
xdiskusage
baobab
gdmap

I've not been able to get these to install (but would love to):
kfilelight
kdirstat

So far gdmap is my favorite.
It's the easiest to use and gives a nice graphical representation.
baobab is linear... basically a graphical version of du
xdiskusage (the grandaddy) is nice, but I can't get it to start at / (could be operator error)

I'd love to run kdirstat or kfilelight but I get broken dependencies.
Anyone having luck with them?

Re: graphical disk usage

I compiled kdirstat on the EeePC and it runs correctly. I packaged it and you can get it from the community repository. Follow the instructions at  http://eeepcrepos.tuxfamily.org to add the repository. The run synaptic or open the console and "sudo apt-get install kdirstat"

Re: graphical disk usage

I get this error when I try to install kdirstat:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  kdirstat: Depends: kdelibs4 (>= 4:3.4.2.94-1) but it is not installable
E: Broken packages


And yet, kdelibs4c2a is installed on my system!

Anybody have any suggestions?

I am running OpenGEU 8.04.

Re: graphical disk usage

OpenGEU is Ubuntu, are you trying to use the Eeepc specific respitory mentioned above to install something onto Ubuntu???

That version has been "broken" to work with the Eeepc's broken packages, you should be just using the normal package, unbroken.
