How can I check free and used disk space on Xubuntu?

On Ubuntu, this was very easy to do, but I don't see a program that accomplishes this now with Xubuntu.

as simple as df -h command, sample output below

Filesystem                    Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/xubuntu--vg-root  290G  5.3G  270G   2% /
none                          4.0K     0  4.0K   0% /sys/fs/cgroup
udev                          1.9G  4.0K  1.9G   1% /dev
tmpfs                         375M  916K  374M   1% /run
none                          5.0M  4.0K  5.0M   1% /run/lock
none                          1.9G  700K  1.9G   1% /run/shm

  • thanks. Do you know how to change the size of the temp files? I have undev holding 7.8GB and using 4kb, tmpfs/tmp 7.8 and 20kb, tmpfs/run 3.2 and 836kb, none/run/shm 7.8 and 88k, and tmpfs/home/dustin 7.8 and 644k. I don't think I need all that space allocated that is being unused.

    welcome. regarding your question, i think you should post it as new question here. but i think you should not delete anything from that folders you mentioned because they are used by your whole system, i guess.
